I’m looking for an update too.
I’m running MythTV 0.24.1 and the
source from github doesn’t compile.

Yes, I believe someone is working on an update. Keep an eye on github.

Any plans to resurrect this? I’m looking for ways to make spotify work through MythTV and by far the best so far is a mopidy backend running on the mythtv box. A Mythtv MPD client to control it would be SWEET!

very nice plugin mate!!…just what I wanted….I tested it in mythtv 0.23 and It worked with some mods (just basics one as now I have no idea how mythtv architecture works) …I’ll try to made more changes later on to see if this plugin can get better because, for me, mpd is very handy when you wanna control your music from a mobile client and get the info there such as current song, playlist, etc.

Thanks for posting your plugin. I’m running it and it works perfectly.

The defualt theme didn’t really fit into my Myth setup so I’ve have written an mpd-ui.xml file for the MePo MythTV theme.

You can see it at: http://netwolfuk.wordpress.com/mythmpd-mepo-theme/

Cheers, Net Wolf.

Very nice plugin that saved my day! Unfortunately, it segfaults on exiting. Here is a quick fix for it:
In mythmpd.cpp on line 38 insert (in a new line, of course):
statusTimer = Null;
right after “timer->start(1000);” but before the “}”.
When exiting, MythMPD tries to delete an uninitalized Timer-Object, therefore segfaulting. We now initalize the timer with Null.
I also changed the UI-Layout a bit, drop me a line if you’d like to see the changes or a patch for the source at: andy (dot) boehler (at) gmx (dot) at!

Greetings,
andy

Hi ! I’m actually trying everything I can related to MythTV, and planning on a plugin developpment. Your plugin seams to have a code easy to understand, and also be started from the “MythHello” plugin (am I right ?). It interrests me as me MythHello doesn’t work … And also because I’d love to write my own plugin, but I will test yours as soon as I have MPD setup ! But I’d like to report you 2 issues : I use a widescreen (and a Wide Theme), and the text isn’t good placed in your plugin, maybe you placed it static from the left border on a 4/3 screen ? And 2nd : when I hit “escape” to leave the plugin, the whole MythTV Frontend exists (is it crashing ?) Anyway, thanks and keep doing the good job !

Nice work! I’m just trying to integrate my MythTV box with MPD and Icecast in a doomed to failure attempt to have multi-room synchronised music listening goodness. I’ll have a play with your plugin.
Thanks
