Installation

Install by running:

sudo python3 -m pip install Mopidy-MusicBox-Webclient

Or, if available, install the Debian/Ubuntu package from apt.mopidy.com.

Configuration

MMW is shipped with default settings that should work straight out of the box for most users:

[musicbox_webclient]
enabled = true
musicbox = false
websocket_host =
websocket_port =
on_track_click = PLAY_ALL

The following configuration values are available should you wish to customize your installation further:

• musicbox_webclient/enabled: If the MMW extension should be enabled or not. Defaults to true.

• musicbox_webclient/musicbox: Set this to true if you are connecting to a Mopidy instance running on a Pi Musicbox. Expands the MMW user interface to include system control/configuration functionality.

• musicbox_webclient/websocket_host: Optional setting to specify the target host for Mopidy websocket connections.

• musicbox_webclient/websocket_port: Optional setting to specify the target port for Mopidy websocket connections.

• musicbox_webclient/on_track_click: The action performed when clicking on a track. Valid options are: PLAY_ALL (default), PLAY_NOW, PLAY_NEXT, ADD_THIS_BOTTOM, ADD_ALL_BOTTOM, and DYNAMIC (repeats last action).

Usage

Enter the address of the Mopidy server that you are connecting to in your browser (e.g. http://localhost:6680/musicbox_webclient)
