Rpi-jukebox-rfid: Can't get audio working

[methigel]

Hello folks,
I set up a phoniebox installation with spotify. And can not get audio to work. I use the PCM device ist is configured and the systemsound is working. I can play mp3 in vlcplayer. I've set PCM to force in raspi-config. I've configured evrything like description in troubleshooting FAQ.
I've tried to play sound via mpc play command and alway get the error: "error parsing song numbers: example.mp3"
I've installed the example sounds and streams, but nothing worked not via webapp-play and not via RFID-tag.

Has anybody an idea how I can solve the problem?

Hi,
check if your Phoniebox folder contains the 'playlists' folder.
After updating to the newest version I was missing this folder and this made mpd crash when trying to play sound.

Edit, this is the folder structure:
/home/pi/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/playlists

Kudos for figuring this out so quickly. While I was away over a long weekend, it seems others used the long weekend to roll up their sleeves and get into their Phoniebox setup :)
