Mopidy Headless

===============

Mopidy headless makes it possible to connect a HID (Human Interface Device), like a remote or a keyboard, to a Mopidy server.

Use ir-keytable from lirc to see which keycodes are supported::

    # ir-keytable -td /dev/input/...

Configuration

-------------

The default config is the following::

    [headless]

    enabled = true

    device = ;needs to be set

    enable_numbers = true

    volume_up = KEY_VOLUMEUP

    volume_down = KEY_VOLUMEDOWN

    next_song = KEY_RIGHT, KEY_NEXTSONG

    previous_song = KEY_PREVIOUSSONG, KEY_LEFT

    play = KEY_PLAY

    pause = KEY_PAUSE

    playpause = KEY_ENTER

    mute = KEY_MUTE

    next_playlist = KEY_CHANNELDOWN, KEY_DOWN

    previous_playlist = KEY_CHANNELUP, KEY_UP

    shuffle = KEY_RECORD

The device is found in /dev/input.

By default the numpad of the remote is bound to the corresponding playlists on your Mopidy installation. Disable this by setting enable_numbers to false.

Make sure that the user running mopidy can read from the device you want to use. See http://puredata.info/docs/faq/how-can-i-set-permissions-so-hid-can-read-devices-in-gnu-linux to allow a non-root user to read from input devices.
