Hm, I didn't find anything :/ Any chance of getting those API calls?

Here it is:
http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/7193
Btw, after a bit of work gmpc also seems to work:
This means that all libmpd-based clients should work
Oh and it also means that I now have a windows-client working (gmpc also exists for windows)

Awesome! I was actually planning todo the same thing.
I would be glad to help you with this as I know and did code stuff using SQL python the xbmc event listener and mpd before.
Let me know if you need any help.
Edit: Lol I just noticed that you are from austria too - nice one

If I understand correctly this would instantly gives us the ability to control XBMC remotely via any device running an MPD client, and clients exist for all OS's, webbrowsers, Android and iPhone?

nice!
I use XBMControl a lot but development seems to have stopped, this would enable some nice options for replacing it

Very rarely does googling turn up a recent thread directly on point. Fortunately, this time it did! I would love to use mpd clients to play music from XBMC. Eagerly awaiting release!

Just stumbled on this thread - I'd be glad to help out, test etc. Would love to use the various mpd clients with xbmc!

Oh well, it's been quite some time since I worked on this project... I have a 48-hour job now, so time is kinda rare.
Anyways, here's the current source:
http://github.com/mots/xbmcpd
It's kinda pre-alpha-early-dev-stuff, and if you don't know how to use it, you probably shouldn't, but whatever...
Feel free to add stuff to it and I'll be happy to commit the changes upstream
Cheers,

I see there seems to be a script to allow mpd clients to connect, but how difficult would it be to go the other way, using the music portion of XBMC to control the MPD server?
I know this seems silly, but I have a music server that is hooked up to speakers and no monitor. I have a touch screen laptop, notebook if you preferr, that I use to control the music. I really like the XBMC UI and think it would be awesome for a party. I don't care about visualizations, or having music play from the crappy laptop speakers, prefer not actually. I would just run a slideshow.
It would also be neat to use in conjunction with the previously mentioned script, so that the main XBMC server (with monitor) could have one or more full featured remotes.
Thanks,
Kyle
p.s. I know I put a linux header on this, but really I don't see why it couldn't be used on any platform.

Any hints?Cheers

Sorry for double post, I was a bit quick on reading the thread. This is actually what Im looking for as well. A script for controlling MPD inside XBMC. As it is now Im using mpd for playing my music, and I want to be able to do so from my laptop and with a remote. When I start up XBMC they interfere with each other and it gets messed up. So if I could just control mpd with xbmc I wouldnt need to run the ir-program for MPD.
