After an upgrade to the latest version, the Playlist Editor view is
totally disabled. If I try to add a song to a playlist using the
context menu, I get a message that says "Playlist support in MPD is not
working. See the manual for possible fixes." However, there doesn't seem
to be a manual included.

Hello,

Thank you for this bug report. The fact that the user manual is
missing is a bug in itself.

As for the playlist issue, I can't reproduce it (I can create new
playlists etc), so here are a few questions :

  - Do you mean that no "Playlist editor" is visible at all ?
  - Did the functionality work with the previous version ?
  - Some functionalities have been moved between gmpc and gmpc-plugins. If
    you install gmpc-plugins, does it work again ?

Here is what the manual says about it :

Thank you, and have a nice day !

Oops, this is my fault. I had made some configuration changes to mpd
too, and I didn't have permissions to write to the playlists directory.
Though I still should have had read access, and Playlist Editor view was
completely greyed out with no content in it.

No problem :) Thanks for this report. I will investigate whether it
is possible to get read-only access to the playlists.
