Music Player Daemon (MPD) 0.17

From Snakeoil OS Reference
Jump to navigation Jump to search


This is a very old version of MPD, dated circa early 2011. MPD was the first player we tried, and it simply blew us away!

This combination left Windows and Foobar completely dead in it's tracks. This was the beginning of the journey down a rabit hole.

Availability

Bundled in the ISO until 1.1.0 (Blind Testing) and firmware until 1.1.6 (Blind Testing U6).

This player will be kept when you upgrade. But future editions of Snakeoil will no longer include this player.

How To Install

Download MPD 0.17 from here, and install it in the Systems page.

How To Uninstall

Activated edition

Go to the Snakeoil page, and untick MPD v0.17 from the software list. This merely removes the player from the players list, so you can re-enable it anytime by re-checking the box.

Free Edition

SSH into the Snakeoil PC, and manually execute the following command:

sudo rm -rf rm /var/www/players/mpd-v17

Command Line Arguments

This edition of MPD is pretty simplistic, there really is nothing much to set other than the following:

--kill            kill the currently running mpd session
--no-config       don't read from config
--no-daemon       don't detach from console
--stdout
--stderr          print messages to stderr
-v, --verbose     verbose logging
-V, --version     print version number

Although you can specify these options in the Snakeoil WebApp, none of them are of any use.
