It does not contain all supported commands, - and some commands may now take additional arguments. However, - clients conforming to this specification should still be - compatible with the latest release of MPD. For more up to date - documentation, please see the protocol reference on the wiki at - <http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Protocol_Reference>. - -This document is intended for client developers, not end users. - -Format: -------- - -If arguments contain spaces, they should be surrounded by double quotation -marks, ". - -command <type arg1> <type arg2> ... - explanation: w/ arg1 and arg2 - -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: -http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html#utf-8 ) - -Command Completion: -------------------- - -A command returns "OK\n" on completion or "ACK some error\n" on failure. -These denote the end of command execution. - -NOTE: ------ - -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. - -Commands: ---------- - -add <string path> - add the file _path_ to the playlist (directories add recursively) - _path_ can also be a single file - increments playlist version by for each song added - -clear - clears the current playlist - increments playlist version by 1 - -clearerror - clear the current error message in status - (this is also accomplished by any command that starts playback) - -close - close the connection with the MPD - -crossfade <int seconds> - sets crossfading between songs - -currentsong - displays the song info of current song (same song that is identified - in status) - -delete <int song> - delete _song_ from playlist - increments playlist version by 1 - -deleteid <int songid> - delete song with _songid_ from playlist - increments playlist version by 1 - -find <string type> <string what> - finds songs in the db that are exactly _what_ - _type_ should be "album", "artist", or "title" - _what_ is what to find - -kill - kill MPD - -list <string type> <string arg1> - list all tags of _type_ - _type_ should be "album" or "artist" - _arg1_ is an optional parameter when type is album, this specifies - to list albums by a artist, where artist is specified with - arg1 - -listall <string path> - lists all songs and directories in _path_ (recursively) - _path_ is optional and maybe a directory or path - -listallinfo <string path> - same as listall command, except it also returns metadata info - in the same format as lsinfo - -load <string name> - loads the playlist _name_.m3u from the playlist directory - increments playlist version by the number of songs added - -lsinfo <string directory> - list contents of _directory_, from the db. _directory_ is optional - -move <int from> <int to> - move song at _from_ to _to_ in the playlist - increments playlist version by 1 - -moveid <int songid> <int to> - move song with _songid_ to _to_ in the playlist - increments playlist version by 1 - -next - plays next song in playlist - -pause <bool pause> - toggle pause/resume playing - _pause_ is required and should be 0 or 1 - NOTE: use of pause command w/o the _pause_ argument is deprecated - -password <string password> - this is used for authentication with the server. - _password_ is simply the plaintext password - -ping - does nothing but return "OK" - -play <int song> - begin playing playlist at song number _song_, _song_ is optional - -playid <int songid> - begin playing playlist at song with _songid_, _songid_ is optional - -playlist - displays the current playlist - NOTE: do not use this, instead use 'playlistinfo' - -playlistinfo <int song> - displays list of songs in the playlist - _song_ is optional and specifies a single song to display info for - -playlistid <int songid> - displays list of songs in the playlist - _songid_ is optional and specifies a single song to display info for - -plchanges <playlist version> - displays changed songs currently in the playlist since - _playlist version_ - NOTE: to detect songs that were deleted at the end of the playlist, - use playlistlength returned by status command. - -plchangesposid <playlist version> - displays changed songs currently in the playlist since - _playlist version_ - This function only returns the position and the id of the changed song, not the complete metadata. This is more bandwidth efficient. - NOTE: to detect songs that were deleted at the end of the playlist, - use playlistlength returned by status command. - -previous - plays previous song in playlist - -random <int state> - set random state to _state_, _state_ should be 0 or 1 - -repeat <int state> - set repeat state to _state_, _state_ should be 0 or 1 - -rm <string name> - removes the playlist <name>.m3u from the playlist directory - -save <string name> - saves the current playlist to _name_.m3u in the playlist directory - -search <string type> <string what> - searches for any song that contain _what_ - _type_ can be "title","artist","album", or "filename" - search is not case sensitive - -seek <int song> <int time> - seeks to the position _time_ (in seconds) of entry _song_ in the - playlist - -seekid <int songid> <int time> - seeks to the position _time_ (in seconds) of song with _songid_ - -setvol <int vol> - set volume to _vol_ - _vol_ the range of volume is 0-100 - -shuffle - shuffles the current playlist - increments playlist version by 1 - -stats - display stats - artists: number of artists - albums: number of albums - songs: number of songs - uptime: daemon uptime in seconds - db_playtime: sum of all song times in db - db_update: last db update in UNIX time - playtime: time length of music played - -status - reports current status of player, and volume level. - volume: (0-100). - repeat: (0 or 1) - playlist: (31-bit unsigned integer, the playlist version number) - playlistlength: (integer, the length of the playlist) - state: ("play", "stop", or "pause") - song: (current song stopped on or playing, playlist song number) - songid: (current song stopped on or playing, playlist songid) - time: <int elapsed>:<time total> (of current playing/paused song) - bitrate: <int bitrate> (instantaneous bitrate in kbps) - xfade: <int seconds> (crossfade in seconds) - audio: <int sampleRate>:<int bits>:<int channels> - updatings_db: <int job id> - error: if there is an error, returns message here - -stop - stop playing - -swap <int song1> <int song2> - swap positions of _song1_ and _song2_ - increments playlist version by 1 - -swapid <int songid1> <int songid2> - swap positions of of songs with song id's of _songid1_ and _songid2_ - increments playlist version by 1 - -update <string path> - searches mp3 directory for new music and removes old music from the db - _path_ is an optional argument that maybe a particular directory or - song/file to update. - returned: - updating_db: <int job id> - where job id, is the job id requested for your update, and is displayed - in status, while the requested update is happening - increments playlist version by 1 - NOTE: To update a number of paths/songs at once, use command_list, - it will be much more faster/efficient. Also, if you use a - command_list for updating, only one update_db job id will be returned - per sequence of updates. - -volume <int change> - change volume by amount _change_ - NOTE: volume command is deprecated, use setvol instead - -COMMAND LIST ------------- - -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_list_begin - -or: - -command_list_ok_begin - -And ends with: - -command_list_end - -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. |
