$ git clone https://github.com/pimusicbox/mopidy-musicbox-webclient
$ cd mopidy-musicbox-webclient

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

[musicbox_webclient]

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/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).
