Visualizer not working

[wernight]

Opening visualizer show Couldn't open "" for reading PCM data: No such file or directory.

Probably related to visualizer_fifo_path not set properly in the config. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ncmpcpp#Enabling_visualization

Blocked by mopidy/mopidy#775 in order to work in Mopidy (which is the main goal use of this project at the moment).

I was looking into it. using the udp branch in this project. you can exec into the running container and run nc -klu 127.0.0.1 5555 to view the stream from the mopidy container. However if i try to run cat -f /tmp/mpd.fifo or try tailing the fifo file. It doesn't show any characters. I'm wondering if there's a problem with the nc command. Have you looked into it at all?

[wernight]

I'm not really an expert with nc, but one way to check may be to try using another program.

this fixes it #2 I've pushed to sammerry/ncmpcpp until merged. You'll have to run exporting to port 5555 and link the containers to see it.

First thanks for your work. I think we're pretty close to getting it working and I included some other fixes as well.

I've merged the changes in master both on Mopidy and ncmpcpp. Still I couldn't get visualizers to work:

$ docker pull wernight/mopidy
$ docker pull wernight/ncmpcpp
$ docker run --rm -it --name mopidy wernight/mopidy mopidy
$ docker run --rm -it --net container:mopidy wernight/ncmpcpp ncmpcpp

(missing here that I mount some media files for testing)
