myMPD
=====

myMPD is a lightweight MPD web client that runs without a dedicated webserver or interpreter. 
It's tuned for minimal resource usage and requires only very litte dependencies.
myMPD is a fork of ympd (https://github.com/notandy/ympd).

This fork provides a reworked ui based on Bootstrap 4 and a modernized backend.

Design principles:
 - Keep it small and simple
 - Uses only mpd as source of truth
 - Mobile first UI
 - Keep security in mind

Featurelist:
 - Browse mpd database by artist
 - Browse filesystem and playlists
 - Queue management
 - Advanced search
 - Progressiv Web App enabled
 - Local coverart support

myMPD is work in progress. Bugreportes and feature requests are very welcome. Please use the issues function from github (https://github.com/jcorporation/myMPD/issues).
Planed functions are managed in a github project (https://github.com/jcorporation/myMPD/projects/1).

Unix Build Instructions
-----------------------

1. Install dependencies: cmake, libmpdclient (dev) and OpenSSL (dev) are available from all major distributions.
2. Build and install: ```cd /path/to/src; ./mkrelease.sh```.
3. Link your mpd music directory to ```/usr/share/mympd/htdocs/library``` and put ```folder.jpg``` files in your album directories (mkrelease.sh tries to do this for you).
4. Configure your mpd with http stream output to use the local player.

SSL
---

1. Create ca and certificate ```/path/to/src/contrib/crcert.sh``` (mkrelease.sh do this for you).
2. Start myMPD with ```-S``` (use default certificate under ```/etc/mympd/ssl/```).
3. Import ```/etc/mympd/ssl/ca/ca.pem``` in your browser to trust the certificate.
4. myMPD redirects http requests to https, ensure that myMPD hostname is resolvable.
