Songbird set-up instructions

Songbird does not allow you to interface with it remotely by default. To use it with Tesla, you must first install the 'MPRIS' add-on:

  1. Start Songbird.
  2. In the top menu, select Tools and Add-Ons...
  3. At the bottom of this dialog, click the Get Extensions link.
  4. In the search box that appears, type MPRIS and press enter.
  5. Press the Install button next to the MPRIS extension shown in the search results.
  6. Follow the on-screen instructions.
  7. Quit Songbird, and start it again.

You should now be able to connect to Songbird from Tesla, and your setting should be remembered from now on.

NOTE: If you downloaded Songbird manually, you may need to run the following command in a terminal to ensure Tesla can find it:

sudo ln -s /path/to/songbird/songbird /usr/local/bin/
