So I've been using mpd with mpc for a while now and it used to work just fine but one day playlists randomly broke. Running mpc lsplaylist gives the error

MPD error: Bad relative path

However I don't use a relative path I use an absolute one (it was a relative path before but I changed it to try and fix this but it didn't do anything).

My config file:

music_directory "~/Music/mpd"
playlist_directory "/home/gerri/Music/playlist"
auto_update "yes"
bind_to_address "127.0.0.1"
restore_paused "yes"

audio_output {
  type "pulse"
  name "pulse"
}

I don't understand what's causing this error. Can anybody help me with this?
