# node-mpc #

Simple [mpd][] client using [node.js][] as the server backend and other open-source projects.

Backend:

* [socket.io-node][] as the websocket server.

* [paperboy][] for static file delivery.

Frontend:

* [require.js][] as file and module loader for the frontend.

* [less.js][] as CSS alternative.

* [socket.io][] for the websocket connection.

Design is mostly inspired and taken from [streamie][]. Thanks to cramforce and the other designers.

I took over the \*.less files with just some small modifications, but I didn't remove unneeded things for now.

The client is fully working, but the code needs some cleanup.

## What does it look like?

Because not everyone got mpd and/or node installed and is willing to install it just for node-mpc, here is a screenshot of it's interface:

And I made a small video, too. [See it on vimeo](http://vimeo.com/16316326).

## ToDo ##

* Code Cleanup!

* Configurable. Not everyone has mpd running on localhost:6600 and most of them are even secured by password.

* ...

* See [TODO](http://github.com/badboy/node-mpc/blob/master/TODO)

## Setup ##

* `npm install socket.io`

* `npm install paperboy`

* Make sure you're mpd is up and running (no auth support yet)

* `node mpd-connect.js PORT HOST`

* 

* Now use the client.
