Yet another Music Player Daemon (MPD) client library written entirely in Ruby.
mpd_client
is a Ruby port of the python-mpd library.
Add this line to your application Gemfile
:
gem 'mpd_client'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install mpd_client
All functionality is contained in the MPDClient
class. Creating an instance of this class is as simple as:
client = MPDClient.new
Once you have an instance of the MPDClient
class, start by connecting to the server:
client.connect('localhost', 6600)
or Unix domain socket
client.connect('/var/run/mpd/socket')
The client library can be used as follows:
puts client.mpd_version # print the mpd version
puts client.search('title', 'ruby') # print the result of the command 'search title ruby'
client.close # send the close command
client.disconect # disconnect from the server
Command lists are also supported using command_list_ok_begin
and command_list_end
:
client.command_list_ok_begin # start a command list
client.update # insert the update command into the list
client.status # insert the status command into the list
client.command_list_end # result will be a Array with the results
Some commands(e.g. move
, delete
, load
, shuffle
, playlistinfo
) support integer ranges([START:END]
) as argument. This is done in mpd_client
by using two element array:
# move the first three songs after the fifth number in the playlist
client.move([0, 3], 5)
Second element can be omitted. MPD will assumes the biggest possible number then:
# delete all songs from the current playlist, except for the firts ten
client.delete([10,])
Default logger for all MPDClient instances:
require 'logger'
require 'mpd_client'
MPDClient.log = Logger.new($stderr)
client = MPDClient.new
Sets the logger used by this instance of MPDClient:
require 'logger'
require 'mpd_client'
client = MPDClient.new
client.log = Logger.new($stderr)

# MPDClient
Yet another Music Player Daemon (MPD) client library written entirely in Ruby.
`mpd_client` is a Ruby port of the [python-mpd](https://github.com/Mic92/python-mpd2) library.
## Installation
Add this line to your application `Gemfile`:
```ruby
gem 'mpd_client'
```
And then execute:
```
$ bundle
```
Or install it yourself as:
```
$ gem install mpd_client
```
## Usage
All functionality is contained in the `MPDClient` class. Creating an instance of this class is as simple as:
```ruby
client = MPDClient.new
```
Once you have an instance of the `MPDClient` class, start by connecting to the server:
```ruby
client.connect('localhost', 6600)
```
or Unix domain socket
```ruby
client.connect('/var/run/mpd/socket')
```
The client library can be used as follows:
```ruby
puts client.mpd_version # print the mpd version
puts client.search('title', 'ruby') # print the result of the command 'search title ruby'
client.close # send the close command
client.disconect # disconnect from the server
```
Command lists are also supported using `command_list_ok_begin` and `command_list_end`:
```ruby
client.command_list_ok_begin # start a command list
client.update # insert the update command into the list
client.status # insert the status command into the list
client.command_list_end # result will be a Array with the results
```
### Ranges
Some commands(e.g. `move`, `delete`, `load`, `shuffle`, `playlistinfo`) support integer ranges(`[START:END]`) as argument. This is done in `mpd_client` by using two element array:
```ruby
# move the first three songs after the fifth number in the playlist
client.move([0, 3], 5)
```
Second element can be omitted. MPD will assumes the biggest possible number then:
```ruby
# delete all songs from the current playlist, except for the firts ten
client.delete([10,])
```
### Logging
Default logger for all MPDClient instances:
```ruby
require 'logger'
require 'mpd_client'
MPDClient.log = Logger.new($stderr)
client = MPDClient.new
```
Sets the logger used by this instance of MPDClient:
```ruby
require 'logger'
require 'mpd_client'
client = MPDClient.new
client.log = Logger.new($stderr)
```
