1. Is your Audio server running?
2. Is your MPD server running?
3. How is mpd being run?
4. Is the MPD address correctly mentioned in ncmpcpp's config?

[vestal thistle]

Audio server what?
idk
idk
idk

[olive pendant]

Pipewire or Pulseaudio?

[vestal thistle]

pipewire

[olive pendant]

So is it running along with pipewire-pulse and wireplumber?

[vestal thistle]

Yes iirc

[olive pendant]

Alright then. Is MPD running?

[vestal thistle]

Not sure. How do I make sure

[olive pendant]

one moment

[vestal thistle]

Waiot

It's fixed

I think

[olive pendant]

ps aux | grep -i "mpd"

[olive pendant]

Yeah it is running

[vestal thistle]

I now get this

I think I did it

[olive pendant]

Can you show the output of cat ~/.config/mpd/mpd.conf

[olive pendant]

Alright

If it is connected then no issues

[vestal thistle]

There are

[olive pendant]

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mpd
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ncmpcpp

[olive pendant]

It is probably using your system config.

[vestal thistle]

which is?

[olive pendant]

I don't exactly remember where it is stored. Either /usr/share/mpd or /etc/mpd

Don't edit those files however.

And considering it connects now, there is no issue.

[vestal thistle]

I get this after uninstalling

[olive pendant]

Uninstalling?

[olive pendant]

An mpd instance is already running so it won't run.

You will have to kill the previous instance.

[vestal thistle]

Ok done
