[Pkg-mpd-maintainers] Bug#970444: Can't connect to httpd stream on MPD

[James Klaas]

Package: mpd
Version: 0.21.5-3

I can no longer access the httpd mpd stream and I think this happened
after I upgraded to Buster.

I'm using the version of mpd.conf from the installation.

I set the music_directory entry and set audio_output to httpd stream.
Here's my audio_output section:

audio_output {
    type            "httpd"
    name            "My HTTP Stream"
    encoder         "vorbis"                # optional, vorbis or lame
    port            "8000"
    bind_to_address "0.0.0.0"               # optional, IPv4 or IPv6
#   quality         "5.0"                   # do not define if bitrate
is defined
    bitrate         "128"                   # do not define if quality
is defined
    format          "44100:16:1"
#   max_clients     "0"                     # optional 0=no limit
}

If I try to connect to the httpd stream with curl for testing I get
the following:

curl http://192.168.47.122:8000
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 192.168.47.122 port 8000: Connection refused

I can connect to the 6600 port without issue:

curl http://192.168.47.122:6600
OK MPD 0.21.11

If I talk to the mpd server and ask for outputs, it says the stream is enabled:

mpc -h 192.168.47.122 outputs
Output 1 (My HTTP Stream) is enabled
