[REQUEST] MPD (Music Player Daemon) client / protocol plugin or script

rtpmatt · 2009-04-09 20:29

Just wanted to let everybody know i have just started work yesterday on an mpd client for XBMC.

It's mostly not working yet, but thought I'd let other people check it out.

I haven't tested it on my actual xbox yet, only on XBMC for ubuntu.

EDIT:
haha, and the url is:

Hey, how about emulating the MPD protocol in XBMC? It would instantly give networked xbmc boxes tons of nice Remotes (for example: sonata, ncmpc), now-playing-widgets etc... I don't really know how hard this would be to implement, but it would be mega hella awesome Big Grin

Cheers,

As nobody else seemed interested in this, I sat down and started writing a python script... I already have a first breakthrough: listing artists and the current playlist work, kinda Big Grin

Had the same idea a couple of weeks ago. Would love to have this too.

Would this make XBMC easier to use, maybe more complex? I don't even know what the MDP protocol is, how would it be used? Can you do a mock up?

Another way to implement the relay from MPD to XBMC would be to create an eventclient and httpapi translation.

so MPD client -> MDP Translator -> EventClient Protocol & HttpApi Protocol-> XBMC

I'm just a user, and I don't have time to chase down every lead, dude. Think about the devs' time. This user is lucky because topfs2 is already aware of how the protocol works otherwise this thread would probably get mostly ignored because it doesn't explain anything about how this MDP protocol could be incorporated into the XBMC or how it could be beneficial to the users.

This is pretty much what my python-script does, it's not an xbmc-python-script, but just a "general python script", if you get what I'm saying Big Grin

Thanks for your arrogance, but I'm the guy incorporating the MPD protocol into xbmc, so really, read posts before you comment on them
