Connect to MPD

Glurp

• Very nice client
• Click on PL to open tabs and go to config, just add mpd.fixme.ch and there you go

Sonata

• Sonata crash when people make a full update of the library, apart from this the client is still usable.
• Configuration for the Sonata client
• .config/sonata/sonatarc

[profiles]
num_profiles = 1
names[0] = Foo
hosts[0] = mpd.fixme.ch
ports[0] = 6600
passwords[0] = 
musicdirs[0] = #should be changed to your $HOME

MPDDroid

• A nice mpd client for android. A configuration panel will pop enter the same information as the other client, and voila.

NCMPCPP

• Command line client

GMPC

• Nice GTK client
• http://gmpclient.org/

API

There is a simple mpd api which will get bigger with the time. If you want to participate or add something, just send gcmalloc a ping.

The api is documented on https://mpd.fixme.ch/api

Music files

For now,

• directory /media/disk1/music
  • subdirectory Music
  • subdirectory Playlists
  • Permissions: sysadmin:sysadmin, dirs=774, files=664

If you don't have access to the server, you must use the ftp in the password protected share under the music directory. You can then synchronize the database with a simple

   curl https://mpd.fixme.ch/api/update

or

   firefox https://mpd.fixme.ch/api/update

or whatever http client you use. Yep, that's all Folks!!!
