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, a modernized backend and many new features while having the same small footprint as ympd.

Design principles:

• Keep it small and simple
• Uses only mpd as source of truth
• Mobile first UI
• Keep security in mind

Featurelist:

• Control mpd functions (play, pause, etc.)
• Set mpd settings (repeat, random, etc.)
• Browse mpd database by tags
• Browse filesystem and playlists
• Queue management
• Playlist management
• Advanced search
• Progressiv Web App enabled
• Local coverart support (Albums and Streams)
• HTTP stream support
• Local playback of mpd http stream (html5 audio api)
• Play statistics and song voting (uses mpd stickers)
• Embedded Webserver (mongoose)
• Jukebox mode (add's random songs from database or playlists to queue)

myMPD is work in progress. Bugreportes and feature requests are very welcome.

Unix Build Instructions

1. Install dependencies: cmake, libmpdclient (dev), OpenSSL (dev) and Java 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.

Run Flags

Usage: ./mympd /etc/mypd/mympd.conf

SSL

1. Create ca and certificate /usr/share/mympd/crcert.sh (mkrelease.sh does this for you).
2. Set ssl=true in /etc/mympd/mympd.conf (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.
