Mopidy is an MPD-compatible music server written in Python.
On NixOS, Mopidy is configured via the services.mopidy options.
Extensions
Mopidy extensions are installed by adding their package to services.mopidy.extensionPackages.
mopidy-youtube
By default, the mopidy-youtube extension relies on youtube-dl as the backend for downloading from YouTube, but it can be configured to use a compatible alternative backend such as yt-dlp. Due to the way Mopidy extensions are implemented in nixpkgs, to add another module to the Python environment of mopidy-youtube, the mopidy package set must be overridden like so:
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
'';
}
