MusicPlayerDaemonListenerProtocol

From Music Player Daemon Community Wiki

This the protocol by which clients can listen on a socket for status changes and updates.

New Commands:

• listen_begin - Begins a listening session
• listen_end - Ends a listening session
  • clients should wait till a "OK" before assuming the listening is done

Permissions:

• have to have read permissions to get basic status info, etc
• need 'admin' permissions to get info like, what connections are connected, commands they are sending, etc

Questions:

• is a separate connection opened for this?
• what exactly is sent by the server to the client?

• Is this still just an idea or also exists there a pre-patch for this feature? It will be very cool
