mopidy

For a complete reference to the Mopidy commands and their command line options, see mopidy command.

When Mopidy says MPD server running at [127.0.0.1]:6600 it’s ready to accept connections by any MPD client. Check out our non-exhaustive MPD clients list to find recommended clients.

Stopping Mopidy

To stop Mopidy, press CTRL+C in the terminal where you started Mopidy.

Mopidy will also shut down properly if you send it the TERM signal, e.g. by using kill:

kill `ps ax | grep mopidy | grep -v grep | cut -d' ' -f1`

This can be useful e.g. if you create init script for managing Mopidy.
