MPDClient

Yet another Music Player Daemon (MPD) client library written entirely in Ruby. mpd_client is a Ruby port of the python-mpd library.

Installation

Add this line to your application Gemfile:

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:

client = MPDClient.new

Once you have an instance of the MPDClient class, start by connecting to the server:

client.connect('localhost', 6600)

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
