|

Users have reported varying success in using MPoD together with Mopidy. Thus,
|
||||
we've tested a fresh install of MPoD 1.5.1 with Mopidy as of revision e7ed28d
|
||||
(pre-0.3) on an iPod Touch 3rd generation. The following are our findings:
|
||||
- The user interface looks nice.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Works:** Playback control generally works, including stop, play, pause,
|
||||
previous, next, repeat, random, seek, and volume control.
|
||||
- All features exercised in the test procedure worked with MPaD, except seek,
|
||||
which I didn't figure out to do.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Bug:** Search does not work, neither in the artist, album, or song
|
||||
tabs. Mopidy gets no requests at all from MPoD when executing searches. Seems
|
||||
like MPoD only searches in local cache, even if "Use local cache" is turned
|
||||
off in MPoD's settings. Until this is fixed by the MPoD developer, MPoD will
|
||||
be much less useful with Mopidy.
|
||||
- Search only works in the "Browse" tab, and not under in the "Artist",
|
||||
"Album", or "Song" tabs. For the tabs where search doesn't work, no queries
|
||||
are sent to Mopidy when searching.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Bug:** When adding another playlist to the current playlist in MPoD,
|
||||
the currently playing track restarts at the beginning. I do not currently
|
||||
know enough about this bug, because I'm not sure if MPoD was in the "add to
|
||||
active playlist" or "replace active playlist" mode when I tested it. I only
|
||||
later learned what that button was for. Anyway, what I experienced was:
|
||||
|
||||
#. I play a track
|
||||
#. I select a new playlist
|
||||
#. MPoD reconnects to Mopidy for unknown reason
|
||||
#. MPoD issues MPD command ``load "a playlist name"``
|
||||
#. MPoD issues MPD command ``play "-1"``
|
||||
#. MPoD issues MPD command ``playlistinfo "-1"``
|
||||
#. I hear that the currently playing tracks restarts playback
|
||||
|
||||
- **Tips:** MPoD seems to cache stored playlists, but they won't work if the
|
||||
server hasn't loaded stored playlists from e.g. Spotify yet. A trick to force
|
||||
refetching of playlists from Mopidy is to add a new empty playlist in MPoD.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Wishlist:** Modifying the current playlists is not supported by MPoD it
|
||||
seems.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Wishlist:** MPoD supports playback of Last.fm radio streams through the MPD
|
||||
server. Mopidy does not currently support this, but there is a wishlist bug
|
||||
at :issue:`38`.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Wishlist:** MPoD supports autodetection/-configuration of MPD servers
|
||||
through the use of Bonjour. Mopidy does not currently support this, but there
|
||||
is a wishlist bug at :issue:`39`.
|
||||
- Single mode and consume mode is supported.
