xbmcpd (MPD clients controlling xbmc) - cube - 2011-09-06
Hi, I've been working on a little thing: https://github.com/bluecube/xbmcpd
It runs as a separate script, connects to xbmc http jsonrpc api and behaves as a mpd server.
It's kinda tested with latest xbmc on both on linux and windows, gmpc and mpc
There are still a few problems, but it's usable (at least for me) and it doesn't crash too often.
Try it and post any problems to github issue tracker.

Could you be more descriptive? What is MPD?

i'm not sure its worth installing mpd clients only to control xbmc. for that i'd use some dedicated xbmc remote. i made this script because mpd is my primary player and when i come home i want to play music using the same interface

Oh wow, I've been forked
.My code is kind of old and ugly, so sorry for that
. If you need anything, feel free to shoot me a message (don't worry, my code style is better now 
)Edit: If you want, I can give you write access to the original repo, would keep things cleaner, imo

Well I've changed a lot in that code ... it's more of a complete rewrite now, but your implementation has helped a lot. I didn't know anything at all about twisted or mpd protocol when I started :-)

Neither did I, so I might've approached some things stupidly
