MPD support (lemmy.world)

Okay, I discovered navidrome this weekend and it's what i was looking for as a on-the-road solution so I migrated to it instantly.

But now, at home I use 3 raspberry-pi's (headless units, no X installed) with mpd which is controlled using mpc and/or home assistant. I like it, it's simple, convenient and super lightweight. a cronjob assures music is turned off in the evening, a script polls the joystick from the sensor-hat and a super tiny web gui, all relying on mpc.

Can I use navidrome as a music source instead of the current samba shares? It would reduce indexing of the nas down from 4 to 1 client.

Other ideas are welcome too.

You can use mpd with a subsonic plugin, that's what is running on navidrome to allow other subsonic api clients to connect and play music.

    Do you mean using Navidrome as the source of music files for your Raspberry Pis with MPD?

    There's an alternative music server called Mopidy, which has a few extensions that would cover this:

    • Mopidy-MPD: exposes Mopidy as an MPD server so you can use existing MPD clients with it
    • Mopidy-Subidy: allows using music on a Subsonic-compatible server in your Mopidy library.

    It's been a while since I used this set-up though. From what I remember it's a bit limited in terms of searching the library.

    Doesn't the fact that it's written in Python mean it's not too lightweight?
