Thanks a lot! Progress in case anyone's interested:

With  1.7.4 the wiki page says to use

plugin.activate('mpd.py')

but freevo plugins -i mpd gives:

To activate, put the following lines in local_conf.py:
| plugin.activate('mpd', level=45)

I ignored both these, and put in

plugin.activate('mpd')

and got:
init MpdBaseScreen
failed to load plugin mpd
start 'freevo plugins -l' to get a list of plugins
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/freevo/plugin.py", line 555, in
__load_plugin__
    exec('import %s' % module)
  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/freevo/plugins/mpd.py", line
268, in ?
    skin.register ( 'mpd', ('screen', 'subtitle', 'title', 'plugin',
MpdBaseScreen()) )
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/freevo/plugins/mpd.py", line
205, in __init__
    self.xmult = float(osd.width  - config.OSD_OVERSCAN_LEFT -
OSD_OVERSCAN_RIGHT) / 800
NameError: global name 'OSD_OVERSCAN_RIGHT' is not defined

I get the same thing with the level=45 or with mpd.py.

Using 1.7.2 the syntax must be 'mpd' (no .py) and i get MPD listed in
the menu! Excellent!

However if I choose it I get:

init MpdBaseScreen
Plugin Interface items
MpdMainMenu init
mpdmainmenu acttions
create locatsion
init mpd item
starting detailed interface !
None, top=0 left=0
MPD: <class plugins.mpd.MpdItem at 0xb4a6914c>
MPD
update Info
sh: mpc: command not found
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/freevo/main.py", line 290
{...snip...}


OK so I install mpc....then I can enter the MPD menu.  I get:

Song - volume: 90%   repeat: on    random: on
Artist - volume: 90%   repeat: on    random: on
Album - volume: 90%   repeat: on    random: on
Status - volume: 90%   repeat: on    random: on

...?   I don't think this is right....  Can someone indicate which 'mpc'
command I'm supposed to have installed, or how to fix the OVERSCAN
errors in version 1.7.4

I have the version from  http://svn.musicpd.org/mpc, version 0.12.0

All help is of course most welcome!
