Hello
All the tutorials to use "mpd" on windows seems to be outdated.
-Could you share your own experience on Windows?
We want to deploy mpd in Retails / Restaurant and thousand sometimes on Windows (from 7 to 10) When we try to install & run mpd with the last binaries it asks for "ffmpeg".
- Is it possible to compile a self contained version with no dependance on windows? (static linking)
- How do you determine the possible values of the audio output configuration?
- Is windows support experimental or stable enough to be used in production?
Thanks for your help

Yes. And actually, the mpd.exe binary which you can download on the website is statically linked; it requires no DLLs other than the standard Windows system DLLs.Is it possible to compile a self contained version with no dependance on windows? (static linking)
Indeed, the section for configuring the "winmm" plugin is missing in the manual - but there is just one setting, that is "device", which you usually don't need to specify.- How do you determine the possible values of the audio output configuration?
I don't know, I've never used it because I don't have Windows.- Is windows support experimental or stable enough to be used in production?
