Roadmap
|
|
*******
|
|
|
|
This is the current roadmap and collection of wild ideas for future Mopidy
|
|
development.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Scope for the first release
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
This was was the plan written down when we started developing Mopidy, and we
|
|
still keep quite close to it:
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Stuff we really want to do, but just not right now
|
|
==================================================
|
|
|
|
- Replace libspotify with `openspotify
|
|
<http://github.com/noahwilliamsson/openspotify>`_ for the
|
|
``LibspotifyBackend``.
|
|
- A backend for playback from local disk. Quite a bit of work on a `gstreamer
|
|
<http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/>`_ backend 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/>`_.
|
|
- 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).
|
|
- 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 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.
