[RELEASE] MPDClient - Client for MPD (Music Player Daemon) Servers

lzoubek Wrote:hmm .. this is pretty lagre database. Mine has 10 times less. There is currently no way setting any limits. "getting artists" phase simply queries server for list of artists, nothing more. Are you using x86 or x86_64 architecture? What about other python MPD Clients, does sonata for example work fine?

Gentoo x64. That sonata has massive dependencies, will try later.

This is not a big issue, i can always play directly from XBMC or VDR. MPD is just for background listening, i have currently basic controls through irexec.

(mpd database file is ~23MB, 4GB memory, 4GB swap)

I've pushed an attempt to save memory when loading artists. Could you pull & retest from github? I've pushed it to eden branch and it should work on dharma too.

Hi All,

well, MPD Client would be the real killer for me.
But I seem to have some issues, when it starts
it just says: "An error occured, see log"

My MPD version is kind of old: 0.13.2
Hope it is possible to work anyway, since all
other clients (Minion, Mpod) are working with it.

Thanks for your help,

Guenter

Edit: Happens with 1.04 and 2.04

PS: Here is the log of:
- starting XBMC
- Starting MPD Client
- Stopping XBMC
(I had to shorten it slightly)

Unfortunately, I do not have a way to test against MPD 0.13. I can push posiible fix + more debug logging on github without releasing it to official repo. Would you be able to get MPD Client directly from github?

Edit: problem seems to be, that your server does not support single playback mode and maybe consume too. I'll have to change a few thinks to make client more robust

Edit2: I've pushed code, that should possibly fix your bug to github eden branch. You can either clone it or download as zip and overwrite files in your addons directory. I hope it helps and no other bugs will rise.

Maybe a stupid question... is this also supposed to work on an appleTV box ?

I get an error in the script.mpdc

I do not have such device and am not able to test on it. But if other python scripts do, MPD Client should too. Please open an issue on github with all possible details. I can than see what's happening, try to fix it and you'll test it - there's no other way to do that.

Hello Izoubeck,

absolutly perfect, your are great.
I will test the new code asap and let you know.

Just a quick question, which code do you want me to test?
The normal Download from the Download button?

Best regards,

Guenter

PS: Short update, with the new version of code, the error changes:

Hello, I've fixed listing playlist issue - MPD 0.13 does not support playlists at all? Or maybe it has another command for it. Anyway, playlists unfortunatelly won't work for you at all. I've pushed to github, eden branch, please try once more.

Anyway, it would be much better if you could update your MPD server.

I have posted a request on github

Thanks in advance

Hi Guys.

Bit of a noob here, and considering whether to install XBMC for Windows or XBMC for Linux. Could somebody tell me whether MPDClient integrates well with the regular XBMC music library? i.e. do you have all your fanart and last.fm scraped information, etc?

Also, can you set it up running alongside another MPD client? i.e. can I install one of the Android or iOS MPD applications and use that when I can't be bothered with turning the TV on?
