Mopidy-Bandcamp 1.0.0

Backend for listening to bandcamp

Mopidy extension for playing music from Bandcamp.

This backend this allows searching bandcamp and playing the free 128kbps MP3 streams.

Unfortunately, it does not support authentication and listening to high quality streams in your collection. I’d love to support that if someone wants to reverse-engineer the X-Bandcamp-DM and X-Bandcamp-PoW headers.

Installation

Install by running:

sudo pip install Mopidy-Bandcamp

Configuration

Before starting Mopidy, you must enable Mopidy-Bandcamp in the Mopidy configuration file:

[bandcamp]
enabled = true

Other Configuration Options

• discover_tags - List of tags to discover. You’ll really want to change this to any tags that interest you. Example: discover_tags = French House, Brit Pop, Tokyo, New Wave, Industrial

• discover_genres - List of bandcamp’s genres to discover. You’ll only want to edit this to remove unwanted genres.
