Hi Nicholas,
I was looking into making Freevo be a client for mpd using a python library, available on the mpd website, made be an mpd author. It's called py-libmpdclient . I'm not so good with python, so I'm trying to create a client by converting the existing fxmms one. I haven't got that far: pause,stop, current status and seek are only implemented, but not tested. I am also away in Northern Ireland for three weeks so can't code anymore as no freevo box. However I can still discuss plans for this.
That's sound great. If you have some things running please let me know. Im very interested in this stuff. This night i was able to play some music with mpd from my handheld device over wifi/wlan. That's really cool :-))!
My initial impressions of MPD are that it creates a music database of all media you tell it.
Yes, exactly.
Then when you tell it to play a file, you must reference it from the database, not the actual file path. So I'm confused as to how to get freevo to tell it what file path to play.
I think, the best implementation would be that not freevo is playing it, but mpd.
freevo should tell mpd what to play. That would be the best way to create
youre playlist from a handheld or pc, but than modify the playlist on the tv.
That would be very handy.
Can anyone make mpd play just a filename not in the database it creates? If so, how did you manage that?
That would be possible, but i think that is not the concept of mpd.
It still looks a great idea, maybe a couple of emails with the mpd guys could help us out here,
Yes, i think so to. Let me know what you think of the idea to let act freevo as an mpd client.
Best Regards and enjoy the greate country side of ireland,
Carsten
