Unable to add new playlist to mpd

[TLINDEN]

This is my config:

music_directory         "/home/scip/MP3"
playlist_directory      "/home/scip/.config/mpd/playlists"
db_file                 "/home/scip/.config/mpd/tag_cache"
log_file                "/home/scip/.config/mpd/mpd.log"
pid_file                "/home/scip/.config/mpd/pid"
state_file              "/home/scip/.config/mpd/state"
sticker_file            "/home/scip/.config/mpd/sticker.sql"
user                    "scip"
bind_to_address         "localhost"
input {
        plugin "curl"
}
decoder {
        plugin          "hybrid_dsd"
        enabled         "no"
}
decoder {
        plugin        "wildmidi"
        enabled       "no"
}
audio_output {
        type            "pulse"
        name            "My Pulse Output"
}
filesystem_charset              "UTF-8"
include_optional "mpd_local.conf"

I have stopped my regular mpd and started it manually with mpd --no-daemon --stderr.

In /home/scip/MP3 I have this:

ls -l /home/scip/MP3/Dj-Gorilla/
.rw-r--r-- 2.5M scip 2026-08-05 11:33 DJ-Gorilla-4Am-Coastline-bvjZ21hFNkQ.mp3
.rw-r--r-- 2.5M scip 2026-08-05 11:17 DJ-Gorilla-4AM-Coastline.mp3
.rw-r--r-- 3.3M scip 2026-08-05 11:21 DJ-Gorilla-After-Cry.mp3
.rw-r--r-- 4.5M scip 2026-08-05 11:28 Dj-Gorilla-Air-Like-Silk.mp3
[..]

Now I want to add a new playlist:

[05.08.2026 12:05:03] ~/MP3 
scip@tripod↴ mpc addplaylist Dj-Gorilla Dj-Gorilla/*
MPD error: No such directory

[05.08.2026 12:05:15] ~/MP3 
scip@tripod↴ cd Dj-Gorilla

[05.08.2026 12:05:23] ~/MP3/Dj-Gorilla 
scip@tripod↴ mpc addplaylist Dj-Gorilla *.mp3
MPD error: No such directory

Whatever I try, I cannot any more playlists. mpd output doesn't help as well:

2026-08-05T12:05:15 exception: No such directory
2026-08-05T12:05:27 exception: No such directory

Also, mpc search doesn't find the files, eg:

[05.08.2026 12:14:56] ~/MP3 
scip@tripod↴ fd Void
Dj-Gorilla/DJ-Gorilla-Void.mp3

[05.08.2026 12:15:40] ~/MP3 
scip@tripod↴ mpc search filename Void
[no output]

Please note, that I have previously added playlists, I can actually play music with it, etc:

Any help would be much appreciated!

best,
Tom

Fixed it myself, I needed to issue: mpc update.
