MPD starts playing after boot

[Midnight]

Hi,

it seems MPD automatically starts playing after boot, even if it was paused/stopped before.

Note: I'm switching it off without shutdown command.

Same here.Mabye it is fixed in the next release.

same here----starts playing after boot!

It ruins my last.fm profile because it submits tracks everytime I turn on my stereo (which also turns on the rest of my multimedia stuff)

This happens to me when I do a shutdown through ssh while still playing, however if I stop/pause the current song before issuing the shutdown it does not.

Hi there,

Mine doesn't start playing at all at boot, whatever I do. I am playing with 0.3 (0.2 doesn't work at all on my Pi).
I also noted that the state file isn't changed anytime. I thought playing with the state file might get me autostart, but I can't get it to work.

Yes this is a bad bug. Imagine that a user leaves RuneAudio on with high volume but in pause mode and there is e.g. a brief power outage that involuntarily reboots the pi during the night. Both the user and the neighbors would get a not so pleasant awakening at 3 a.m.

I work around the bug with a script that runs at boot (set up with systemd) and repeatedly executes the "mpc stop" command for around 30 seconds, since the RA/mpd seem to resume play with a little delay. That works. But I hope the bug will be fixed properly.
