Re: How to use MPC

Code: Select all

$ man mpc
or https://www.musicpd.org/doc/mpc/html/ but mpc is useful for scripts. Getting started with MPD use ncmpc for commandline or cantata for graphical user interface.

Whole house audio: Dante anyone?

Re: MPD httpd Streaming issue

Nowadays, streaming is synonymous with playing music on a PC. I like MPDs streaming feature capabilities for Sonos, Chromecast Audio an maybe other hardware. Adding some more features would be cool eg keep multiple outputs in sync, adding and removing outputs during runtime, routing audio and of cou...

Re: Send multicast datagram

But there's also the class "IPv4Address" which is implicitly convertible to "SocketAddress", and that class may be easier for you to handle. It can be initialized with a "struct sockaddr_in", but can also be initialized with IPv4 octets plus port, no fiddling with big-endian. That's how it worked. ...

Send multicast datagram

Maybe stupid question but I do not get it. Want to send an udp datagram to multicast address using MPD's internal API. SocketDescriptor MySocketDesc; if (!MySocketDesc.Create(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP)) { // error } Ok there is a socket descriptor. But MySocketDesc.Write() requires SocketAddre...

Re: MPD only streaming when someone connects

I use one MPD, which serves one stream up to five local clients. Not five different streams. If you want to access your music from the internet use appropriate software, eg Ampache. With all my deep respect to the MPD project: MPD is NOT well suited for your intended purpose.

Re: MPD only streaming when someone connects

@Huecuva> Maybe you should describe functionalities rather than name programs. Where are the music files stored? Wired LAN or Wifi? Where should the sound be played? Where is playback controlled? Max is always a bit skeptical about the http streaming capabilities of MPD. In my experience, up to five...

 what would be a good choice for streaming format if i'm not constrained by bandwidth but would like to the keep resource utilisation low?
encoder "flac" wtih compresseion "0" or "1" should work well even on modest hardware.

Re: MPD doesn't display titles correctly that contain an é

MPD doesn't display titles correctly that contain, for example, an acute accent. For example, if there is an é in the title, it will be displayed in mpc and in /var/lib/mpd/state file as a ?.
Could not reproduce with MPD and mpc on Debian testing x64. Perhaps Collin mixed up filename and metadata?
