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

<para>
|

A command returns "OK\n" on completion or "ACK some error\n" on failure.
|
|
These denote the end of command execution.

<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 beings 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, OK is returned. If a command fails, no more commands
|
|
are executed and the appropriate ACK error is returned. If
|
|
"command_list_ok_begin is used", "list_OK\n" is returned for each
|
|
successful command executed in the command list.

<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 id's should be used
|
|
instead of the commands that manipulate and control playback based on playlist
|
|
position. Using song id's is a safer method when multiple clients are
|
|
interacting with MPD.

While a client waits for <command>idle</command>
|

results, the server disables timeouts, allowing a client
|
|
to wait for events as long as mpd runs. The
|
|
<command>idle</command> command can be canceled by
|
|
sending the command <command>noidle</command> (no other

commands are allowed). MPD will then leave

immediately; might be empty at this time.
