The `mpd` platform allows you to control a [Music Player Daemon](http://www.musicpd.org/) from Home Assistant. Unfortunatly you will not be able to manipulate the playlist (add or delete songs) or add transitions between the songs.
|
|
|
|
To add MPD to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
media_player:
|
|
platform: mpd
|
|
server: IP_ADDRESS
|
|
port: 6600
|
|
location: bedroom
|
|
password: PASSWORD
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **server** (*Required*): IP address of the Music Player Daemon, eg. 192.168.1.32
|
|
- **port** (*Optional*): Port of the Music Player Daemon, defaults to 6600.
|
|
- **location** (*Optional*): Location of your Music Player Daemon.
|
|
- **password** (*Optional*): Password for your Music Player Daemon.
|
|
|
|
This platform works with [Music Player Daemon](http://www.musicpd.org/) and [mopidy](https://www.mopidy.com/) with [Mopidy-MPD](https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/ext/mpd/) as used by [Pi MusicBox](http://www.pimusicbox.com/).
