<para>
|
|
The MPD command protocol exchanges line-based text records
|
|
between client and server over TCP. Once the client is
|
|
connected to the server, they conduct a conversation until the
|
|
client closes the connection. The conversation flow is always
|
|
initiated by the client.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The client transmits a command sequence, terminated by the
|
|
newline character <constant>\n</constant>. The server will
|
|
respond with one or more lines, the last of which will be a
|
|
completion code.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
When the client connects to the server, the server will answer
|
|
with the following line:
|
|
|
|
<synopsis>OK MPD version</synopsis>
|
|
|
|
where <varname>version</varname> is a version identifier such as
|
|
0.12.2. This version identifier is the version of the protocol
|
|
spoken, not the real version of the daemon. (There is no way to
|
|
retrieve this real version identifier from the connection.)

If arguments contain spaces, they should be surrounded by double

quotation marks.

Argument strings are separated from the command and any other

arguments by linear white-space (' ' or '\t').

</para>

<para>
|
|
All data between the client and the server is encoded in
|
|
UTF-8. (Note: In UTF-8 all standard ansi characters, 0-127 are
|
|
the same as in standard ansi encoding. Also, no ansi character
|
|
appears in any multi-byte characters. So, you can use
|
|
standard C functions like <function>strlen</function>, and
|
|
<function>strcpy</function> just fine with UTF-8 encoded
|
|
strings. For example: <returnvalue>OK</returnvalue> encoded in
|
|
UTF-8 is simply <returnvalue>OK</returnvalue>. For more
|
|
information on UTF=8:

<title>Responses</title>
|

|

<para>
|
|
A command returns <returnvalue>OK</returnvalue> on completion or
|
|
<returnvalue>ACK some error</returnvalue> on failure. These
|
|
denote the end of command execution.

<title>Failure responses</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The nature of the error can be gleaned from the information
|
|
that follows the <returnvalue>ACK</returnvalue>.
|
|
<returnvalue>ACK</returnvalue> lines are of the form:
|
|
|
|
<synopsis>ACK [error@command_listNum] {current_command} message_text\n</synopsis>
|
|
|
|
These responses are generated by a call to
|
|
<function>commandError</function>. They contain four separate
|
|
terms. Let's look at each of them:
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>

<returnvalue>command_listNum</returnvalue>:

offset of the command that caused the error in a <link

|

An error will always cause a command list to terminate
|
|
at the command that causes the error.

An example might help. Consider the following sequence
|
|
sent from the client to the server.
|
|
|
|
<synopsis>
|
|
command_list_begin
|
|
volume 86
|
|
play 10240
|
|
status
|
|
command_list_end
|
|
</synopsis>
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The server responds with:
|
|
|
|
<returnvalue>
|
|
ACK [50@1] {play} song doesn't exist: "10240"
|
|
</returnvalue>
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
This tells us that the play command, which was the
|
|
second in the list (the first or only command is
|
|
numbered 0), failed with error 50. The number 50
|
|
translates to <constant>ACK_ERROR_NO_EXIST</constant>--the
|
|
song doesn't exist. This is reiterated by the message text
|
|
which also tells us which song doesn't exist.
|
|
</para>

<para>
|
|
To facilitate faster adding of files etc. you can pass a list
|
|
of commands all at once using a command list. The command
|
|
list begins with <command>command_list_begin</command> or
|
|
<command>command_list_ok_begin</command> and ends with
|
|
<command>command_list_end</command>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
It does not execute any commands until the list has ended.
|
|
The return value is whatever the return for a list of commands
|
|
is. On success for all commands,
|
|
<returnvalue>OK</returnvalue> is returned. If a command
|
|
fails, no more commands are executed and the appropriate
|
|
<returnvalue>ACK</returnvalue> error is returned. If
|
|
<command>command_list_ok_begin</command> is used,
|
|
<returnvalue>list_OK</returnvalue> is returned for each
|
|
successful command executed in the command list.

|
|
<para>
|
|
Some commands (e.g. <link
|
|
linkend="command_delete"><command>delete</command></link>)
|
|
allow specifying a range in the form
|
|
<parameter>START:END</parameter> (the <varname>END</varname>
|
|
item is not included in the range, similar to ranges in the
|
|
Python programming language). If <varname>END</varname> is
|
|
omitted, then the maximum possible value is assumed.

<title>Queuing</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Often, users run MPD with "<link
|
|
linkend="command_random">random</link>" enabled, but want to
|
|
be able to insert songs "before" the rest of the playlist.
|
|
That is commonly called "queuing".
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
MPD implements this by allowing the client to specify a
|
|
"priority" for each song in the playlist (commands <link
|
|
linkend="command_prio"><command>prio</command></link> and
|
|
<link
|
|
linkend="command_prioid"><command>prioid</command></link>). A
|
|
higher priority means that the song is going to be played
|
|
before the other songs.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
In "random" mode, MPD maintains an internal randomized
|
|
sequence of songs. In this sequence, songs with a higher
|
|
priority come first, and all songs with the same priority are
|
|
shuffled (by default, all songs are shuffled, because all have
|
|
the same priority "0"). When you increase the priority of a
|
|
song, it is moved to the front of the sequence according to
|
|
its new priority, but always after the current one. A song
|
|
that has been played already (it's "before" the current song
|
|
in that sequence) will only be scheduled for repeated playback
|
|
if its priority has become bigger than the priority of the
|
|
current song. Decreasing the priority of a song will moved it
|
|
farther to the end of the sequence. Changing the priority of
|
|
the current song has no effect on the sequence.

<note>
|
|
<para>
|
|
For manipulating playlists and playing, there are two sets of
|
|
commands. One set uses the song id of a song in the playlist,
|
|
while another set uses the playlist position of the song. The
|
|
commands using song ids should be used instead of the commands
|
|
that manipulate and control playback based on playlist
|
|
position. Using song ids is a safer method when multiple
|
|
clients are interacting with MPD.

Sets the threshold at which songs will be overlapped. Like crossfading but doesn't fade the track volume, just overlaps. The songs need to have MixRamp tags added by an external tool. 0dB is the normalized maximum volume so use negative values, I prefer -17dB. In the absence of mixramp tags crossfading will be used.

|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
"Stickers"<footnoteref linkend="since_0_15"/> are pieces of
|
|
information attached to existing MPD objects (e.g. song files,
|
|
directories, albums). Clients can create arbitrary name/value
|
|
pairs. MPD itself does not assume any special meaning in
|
|
them.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The goal is to allow clients to share additional (possibly
|
|
dynamic) information about songs, which is neither stored on
|
|
the client (not available to other clients), nor stored in the
|
|
song files (MPD has no write access).
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Client developers should create a standard for common sticker
|
|
names, to ensure interoperability.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Objects which may have stickers are addressed by their object
|
|
type ("song" for song objects) and their URI (the path within
|
|
the database for songs).
