Mopidy-Party 1.3.0

Mopidy web extension designed for party

Mopidy web extension designed for party! Let your guests manage the sound ;)

• Minimal, fast web interface designed for mobile

• Search soundtracks and add it to the queue

• Skip current track after a configurable number of votes (defaults to 3)

See this blog entry for some details about this package.

Installation

You must install mopidy (version 3) and some backends (soundcloud, spotify, youtube…).

PROD: you just have to install pip and then:

sudo python3 -m pip install Mopidy-Party

DEV: After cloning the repository, install by running:

sudo python3 -m pip install -e .

Usage

To use the interface, simply use your browser to visit your Mopidy instance’s IP at port 6680 to see all available web interfaces. For example, http://192.168.0.2:6680/

Direct access to Mopidy Party should then be: http://192.168.0.2:6680/party/

Developer information

The RequestHandler ‘config’ makes mopidy.conf’s section for the [party] configuration available via http GET requests. Useful if you want to make aspects of the controller configurable.

Example: The controller uses the below request, to read the max_results value:

$http.get('/party/config?key=max_results')
