This is a list of MPD clients we either know works well with Mopidy, or that we
|
|
know won't work well. For a more exhaustive list of MPD clients, see
|

MPD console clients
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
ncmpcpp
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
A console client that works well with Mopidy, and is regularly used by Mopidy
|
|
developers.

|
|
|
Search does not work in the "Match if tag contains search phrase (regexes
|
|
supported)" mode because the client tries to fetch all known metadata and do
|
|
the search on the client side. The two other search modes works nicely, so this
|
|
is not a problem.
|
|
|
|
With ncmpcpp <= 0.5, the library view is very slow when used together with
|
|
Mopidy-Spotify. A workaround is to edit the ncmpcpp configuration file
|
|
(:file:`~/.ncmpcpp/config`) and set::
|
|
|
|
media_library_display_date = "no"
|
|
|
|
With this change ncmpcpp's library view will still be a bit slow, but usable.
|
|
|
|
Note that this option was removed in ncmpcpp 0.6, but with this version, the
|
|
library view works well without it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ncmpc
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
A console client. Works with Mopidy 0.6 and upwards. Uses the ``idle`` MPD
|
|
command, but in a resource inefficient way.
|
|
|
|
|
|
mpc
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
A command line client. Version 0.16 and upwards seems to work nicely with
|
|
Mopidy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
MPD graphical clients
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
GMPC
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
`GMPC <http://gmpc.wikia.com/wiki/Gnome_Music_Player_Client>`_ is a graphical MPD client (GTK+) which works
|
|
well with Mopidy.
|

|
|
|
|
GMPC may sometimes requests a lot of meta data of related albums, artists, etc.
|
|
This takes more time with Mopidy, which needs to query Spotify for the data,
|
|
than with a normal MPD server, which has a local cache of meta data. Thus, GMPC
|
|
may sometimes feel frozen, but usually you just need to give it a bit of slack
|
|
before it will catch up.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sonata
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
`Sonata <https://github.com/multani/sonata>`_ is a graphical MPD client (GTK+).
|
|
It generally works well with Mopidy, except for search.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: mpd-client-sonata.png
|
|
:width: 475
|
|
:height: 424
|
|
|
|
When you search in Sonata, it only sends the first to letters of the search
|
|
query to Mopidy, and then does the rest of the filtering itself on the client
|
|
side. Since Spotify has a collection of millions of tracks and they only return
|
|
the first 100 hits for any search query, searching for two-letter combinations
|
|
seldom returns any useful results. See :issue:`1` for details.
|
|
|
|
Theremin
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
`Theremin <https://github.com/pweiskircher/Theremin>`_ is a graphical MPD
|
|
client for OS X. It is unmaintained, but generally works well with Mopidy.
