mixplayd

This is the manager and player that can run headless and will just play the shuffled Music content.

This is destined to run on a headless box and supply the stereo with a constant stream of music, allowing remote controls over a dedicated web API.

Features

• Music database to avoid scanning on every start
• Skipping titles forward/backward
• Jumping forward backward during play
• favourites
• do-not-play lists
• shuffle play that avoids the same artist twice in ten titles
• shuffle will play each title once before playing them again
• URL stream play
• playlist support
• MP3 tag suport with guessing mechanism on missing tags

Planned

• native MP3 streaming to support HTTPS streams and avoid running extra mpg123 processes
• serve stream (unlikely but desireable)

Parameters

• -d : increase console verbosity. Tells mixplayd to not detach and run in debug mode (this reads web files from the filesystem and does not use the hard coded versions.)
• -f : disable fading
• -F : enable fading
• -h : print help
• -p : set port for remote play [2347]
• -v : increase application verbosity
• [path|URL] : path to the music files [play from db]
