        so then i throw mpd client folder in trash and follow your
        install instructions?

        because I believe there have been a problem when I first installed mpd_client, I did not been clear where the npm install should been placed, if you read in mpd-client readme.md maybe you understand, english is not my first language, and my linux-fu is below first grade :)

          @dnj0104 is ok, he didn’t do the instructions correctly…

          yes, start over

          cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
          rm -rf mod_client
          

          then do the install as I suggested

            and then change folder name to mod-client ?

            is it mod-client (folder) and mod_client in config.js in config array. do I also change name in mpd-client.js file?

              @dnj0104 everythign should be named mpd_client

              look at the files list in the module
              https://github.com/timjong93/MMM-MPD

              all mpd_client

              no, do NOT change the folder name, change the config.js to match

              module: 'mpd_client',

                something wrong with nodehelper I believe.

                Or maybe I have wrong port and IP to my mpd.

                  edit the node_helper.js
                  and add this as the 1st line

                  const NodeHelper = require("node_helper");

                    and output
