*******
This is the current roadmap and collection of wild ideas for future Mopidy
development.
development. This is intended to be a living document and may change at any
time.
Version 0.1
===========
- Core MPD server functionality working. Gracefully handle clients' use of
non-supported functionality.
- Read-only support for Spotify through :mod:`mopidy.backends.despotify` and/or
:mod:`mopidy.backends.libspotify`.
- Initial support for local file playback through
:mod:`mopidy.backends.gstreamer`. The state of local file playback will not
block the release of 0.1.
Scope for the first release
===========================
Version 0.2 and 0.3
===================
This was was the plan written down when we started developing Mopidy, and we
still keep quite close to it:
0.2 will be released when we reach one of the following two goals. 0.3 will be
released when we reach the other goal.
To limit scope, we will start by implementing an MPD server which only
supports Spotify, and not playback of files from disk. We will make Mopidy
modular, so we can extend it with other backends in the future, like file
playback and other online music services such as Last.fm.
- Write-support for Spotify. I.e. playlist management.
- Support for using multiple Mopidy backends simultaneously. Should make it
possible to have both Spotify tracks and local tracks in the same playlist.
Stuff we really want to do, but just not right now
==================================================
- Replace libspotify with `openspotify
<http://github.com/noahwilliamsson/openspotify>`_ for the
``LibspotifyBackend``.
- **[WIP]** A backend for playback from local disk. Quite a bit of work on
:mod:`mopidy.backends.gstreamer` has already been done by Thomas Adamcik.
- Support multiple backends at the same time. It would be really nice to have
tracks from local disk and Spotify tracks in the same playlist.
- **[Done]** Package Mopidy as a `Python package
<http://guide.python-distribute.org/>`_.
- **[Done]** Get a build server, i.e. `Hudson <http://hudson-ci.org/>`_, up and
running which runs our test suite on all relevant platforms (Ubuntu, OS X,
etc.) and creates nightly packages (see next items).
<http://github.com/noahwilliamsson/openspotify>`_ for
:mod:`mopidy.backends.libspotify`. *Update:* Seems like openspotify
development has stalled.
- Create `Debian packages <http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/>`_ of all our
dependencies and Mopidy itself (hosted in our own Debian repo until we get
stuff into the various distros) to make Debian/Ubuntu installation a breeze.
- Create `Homebrew <http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/>`_ recipies for all our
dependencies and Mopidy itself to make OS X installation a breeze.
- **[WIP]** Create `Homebrew <http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/>`_ recipies for
all our dependencies and Mopidy itself to make OS X installation a breeze.
- Run frontend tests against a real MPD server to ensure we are in sync.
- Start working with MPD-client maintainers to get rid of weird assumptions
like only searching for first two letters etc.
- Start working with MPD client maintainers to get rid of weird assumptions
like only searching for first two letters and doing the rest of the filtering
locally in the client, etc.
Crazy stuff we had to write down somewhere
==========================================
- Add or create a new frontend protocol other than MPD. The MPD protocol got
quite a bit of legacy and it is badly documented. The amount of available
client implementations is MPD's big win.
- Add support for storing (Spotify) music to disk.
- Add an `XMMS2 <http://www.xmms2.org/>`_ frontend, so Mopidy can serve XMMS2
clients.
- Add support for serving the music as an `Icecast <http://www.icecast.org/>`_
stream instead of playing it locally.
- Integrate with `Squeezebox <http://www.logitechsqueezebox.com/>`_ in some
way.
- AirPort Express support, like in
`PulseAudio <http://git.0pointer.de/?p=pulseaudio.git;a=blob;f=src/modules/raop/raop_client.c;hb=HEAD>`_.
- **[Done]** NAD/Denon amplifier mixer through their RS-232 connection.
- DNLA and/or UPnP support. Maybe using
`Coherence <http://coherence-project.org/>`_.
- `Media Player Remote Interfacing Specification
