View source for Mopidy

Mopidy is an MPD-compatible music server written in Python.

On NixOS, Mopidy is configured via the <code>services.mopidy</code> options.

== Extensions ==
[https://mopidy.com/ext/ Mopidy extensions] are installed by adding their package to <code>services.mopidy.extensionPackages</code>.

=== mopidy-youtube ===
By default, the <code>mopidy-youtube</code> extension relies on [https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl youtube-dl] as the backend for downloading from YouTube, but it can be configured to use a compatible alternative backend such as [https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp yt-dlp]. Due to the way Mopidy extensions are implemented in nixpkgs, to add another module to the Python environment of <code>mopidy-youtube</code>, the mopidy package set must be overridden like so:

<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
services.mopidy = let
  mopidyPackagesOverride = pkgs.mopidyPackages.overrideScope (prev: final: {
    extraPkgs = pkgs: [ pkgs.yt-dlp ];
  });
in {
  extensionPackages = with mopidyPackagesOverride; [
    mopidy-youtube
  ];
  configuration = ''
    [youtube]
    youtube_dl_package = yt_dlp
  '';
}
</syntaxhighlight>
