File backend
|
||||||
|
------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The :ref:`Mopidy-File <ext-file>` backend is new bundled backend. It is similar
|
||||||
|
to Mopidy-Local since it works with local files, but it differs in a few key
|
||||||
|
ways:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Mopidy-File lets you browse your media files by their file hierarchy.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- It supports multiple media directories, all exposed under the "Files"
|
||||||
|
directory when you browse your library with e.g. an MPD client.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- There is no index of the media files, like the JSON or Sqlite files used by
|
||||||
|
Mopidy-Local. Thus no need to scan the music collection before starting
|
||||||
|
Mopidy. Everything is read from the file system when needed and changes to
|
||||||
|
the file system is thus immediately visible in Mopidy clients.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Because there is no index, there is no support for search.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Our long term plan is to keep this very simple file backend in Mopidy, as it
|
||||||
|
has a well defined and limited scope, while splitting the more feature rich
|
||||||
|
Mopidy-Local extension out to an independent project. (Fixes: :issue:`1004`,
|
||||||
|
PR: :issue:`1207`)
