Controlling Mopidy through the Ubuntu Sound Menu
================================================
If you are running Ubuntu and installed Mopidy using the Debian package from
APT you should be able to control Mopidy through the `Ubuntu Sound Menu
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundMenu>`_ without any changes.
If you installed Mopidy in any other way and want to control Mopidy through the
Ubuntu Sound Menu, you must install the ``mopidy.desktop`` file which can be
found in the ``data/`` dir of the Mopidy source into the
``/usr/share/applications`` dir by hand::
cd /path/to/mopidy/source
sudo cp data/mopidy.desktop /usr/share/applications/
After you have installed the file, start Mopidy in any way, and Mopidy should
appear in the Ubuntu Sound Menu. When you quit Mopidy, it will still be listed
in the Ubuntu Sound Menu, and may be restarted by selecting it there.
The Ubuntu Sound Menu interacts with Mopidy's MPRIS frontend.
The MPRIS frontend supports the minimum requirements of the `MPRIS
specification <http://www.mpris.org/>`_. The ``TrackList`` and the
``Playlists`` interfaces of the spec are not supported.
