SpaceMusic Release status: stable [box doku]
Description
Author(s)	Severin

What is it?

We have an awesome sound system at the space. It is attached to the Docker running an instance of mpd (music player daemon), as well as targets for AirPlay, UPnP and Spotify Connect.

Settings

• Hostname: music.intern.munichmakerlab.de
• IP: 10.10.20.66
• Port: 6600
• Password: none

How to use

You can control mpd using a media player client software. We recommend gmpc for Mausschubsers and ncmpc for the nerds.

ncmpc -h 10.10.20.50

Alternatively, there's a webinterface at http://music.intern.munichmakerlab.de

MQTT Control

The MPD can also be controlled via MQTT. Therefore, we have a service running that translates MQTT messages into MPD commands. It's currently running on the Docker machine (10.10.20.66), and the code that's used can be found at https://github.com/munichmakerlab/mqtt2mpd

Topics

• mumalab/mpd/command: understands the following commands: play, pause, next, previous, toggle, volume up, volume down
