"Item not found" for every song

[Latrolage]

I'm not sure what's wrong or if this is a problem at all, but with the mpdstats plugin, i keep getting "item not found"

$ beet -vv mpdstats
user configuration: /home/user/.config/beets/config.yaml
data directory: /home/user/.config/beets
plugin paths: 
Sending event: pluginload
library database: /home/user/config/beets/library.db
library directory: /home/user/Music
Sending event: library_opened
mpdstats: music_directory: /home/user/Music
mpdstats: strip_path: /
mpdstats: connecting to localhost:6600
mpdstats: returning: /home/user/Music/out.flac
mpdstats: playing /home/user/Music/out.flac
mpdstats: item not found: /home/user/Music/out.flac

this is my config file

directory: /home/user/Music
plugins: mpdstats
mpd:
  music_directory: /home/user/Music

I'm not too familiar with the mpdstats plugin, but maybe it would be useful to know whether you were in fact playing /home/user/Music/out.flac, and whether that file exists and is in your library?

[Latrolage]

It correctly logs the location of the song I'm playing, when I pause and when I switch songs. That file is the correct file I played and it exists.

I'm new to this program but with "in your library" I've run beet import -WA /home/user/Music/ already so I believe it should be in the library

[Latrolage]

Looks like there was an oversight on my part; I don't understand how beets interacts with libraries. But I've added

import:
    copy: no
    write: no

To my config.yaml and reimported and it seems to work now

Great news!
