Submitted: Jan 14 2007
Updated: Jan 30 2007

Description:

AmarokMPC is an Amarok script for synchronising the localy played music with an instance of the Music Player Daemon (MPD, http://www.musicpd.org).
This task and usecase is somewhat limited:
If you have the same music on different computers (e.g. mounted with nfs) and want to play the same music on both computers at the same time, then this script might help you.

Amarok 2.0 will get a Ampache service which seems to do the same stuff. Currently no development will be done on my side, you are free to take over.

The current playlist is transfered from Amarok to mpd and synchronised including events like play, stop, skip, pause. Technically it works by translating the local paths to the remote equivalents to handle different mount points.

This script comes in handy when changing places while listening to music. You can now listen to your Amarok as long as a server with MPD and a same set of music is around.

Short Usage:
Set server address in configure dialogue first and wait for the "connected to ..." message. Then you can use the context menu from the Amarok playlist to start/stop MPD. See README for more information.

Changelog:

2007.01.14 (0.1):
initial release

2007.01.15 (0.11):
fix issue with remotely non available file

2007.01.30 (0.2):
* don't autoconnect on very first load, let user check settings first, new options for startup/shutdown
* check if tracks could be added to server, handle missing same as local tracks: skip locally
* menu for starting and stopping synchronisation, no need for starting/stopping skript for this
* menu for updating the mpd server
* interfere less with server, if we already stopped playing

Import Error

Hi, thanks for your script.
However whenever I try to run it, I get the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/user/.kde/share/apps/amarok/scripts/amarokmpc/amarokmpc.py", line 41, in ?
from xml.dom.ext.reader import Sax2
ImportError: No module named ext.reader

I guess I have to install something extra, but what?

Thank you!

You need to install pyxml. Under Ubuntu that would be: sudo apt-get install python-xml.

After that you will probably need to install py-libmpdclient (which can be found here: http://incise.org/index.cgi/py-libmpdclient2). On my system I needed the python-dev packages. Just unpack it, untar it and run

sudo python setup.py install

Don't forget to configure the script after you start it ;-)

Path mapping

I had a little hard time getting the path mapping correct. By default it says /:/, so I thought this must be client:server. Or the other way around, but I was right.

So both my client and server use the same mount point. I thought that is enough. It turns out to be that is not the case, since MPD has the path relative to the music root directory, whereas Amarok stores the whole path.

So if you're setup is like this:
NFS Mount point:
/mnt/music_server/music/[collection]

mpd.conf has:
music_directory=/mnt/music_server/music

This means that the MPD collection will start at the collection point, without a slash at the beginning!

Example:
/mnt/music_server/music/R/Radiohead/OK\ Computer/01\ -\ Airbag.flac

Amarok would use this path to refer to the file, whereas MPD would only use: R/Radiohead/OK\ Computer/01\ -\ Airbag.flac

Since the replace syntax was client:server, or replace_client_string:with_server_string it will look like this in this case:

/mnt/music_server/music/:

Nothing after the colon, trust me ;-)

BTW, this completely rocks!

I now have my (very fat) Amarok Client to control MPD.

I use my Laptop without tone, as the most luxury remote control one could think of. I still have all the features I'm used to. Tried a couple of other MPD clients and although they all have nice features (gmpc and MPD WebAMP) none of them comes close to Amarok.

Thanks. Really enjoy this script.

Double playback!?

Well, thanks for your tips it is now working (thanks a lot!), but I've got another problem: whenever I play something I can hear it played back twice with something like 1 second of delay, this is unbearable.
Do you know what may be causing this?

Thank you

I guess you have Amarok and MPD on the same machine. So what you will hear is one time the music coming from Amarok (the first) and the second one comes from MPD. MPD starts a little later, since the command to start comes with a small delay from Amarok.

So just turn down the volume in Amarok.

What we really need here is a dummy playback engine, don't we ?

I had a problem with this working with Amarok 1.4.7. I found this was due to the current.xml playlist file not haveing a filename field. To fix I replaced the getCurrentPlaylist function / definition with the following (taken from a transcode script) with changes in bold:

Quote:

def getCurrentPlaylist(playlistPath):
# create Reader object
reader = Sax2.Reader()
# parse the document
file = codecs.open(playlistPath, encoding='utf-8')
doc = reader.fromStream(playlistPath)
playlist = []
playlistElem = doc.getElementsByTagName('playlist')[0]
for itemElem in playlistElem.getElementsByTagName('item'):

filename = itemElem.getAttribute("url")
filename = filename.replace("file://", "").replace("file:", "")
filename = filename.replace("%20"," ").replace("%27","'").replace("%26","&").replace("%23","#").replace("%2B","+").replace("%3D","=").replace("%3F","?").replace("%5B","[").replace("%5D","]").replace("%25","%").replace("%3A",":")

playlist.append(filename)

return playlist

Thanks for the fix. I don't have any time though to incorporate that into a new version as I'm pretty busy right now. Currently I have no use for this script, so I probably won't make any fixes in the very near future. Soon as I have my system back I'll keep on going again.

While I'm no Python expert I realize my instructions may have been confusion to someone completely unfamiliar with programming. To save you the hassle of having to search and find the fix, here is my updated file.

DISCLAIMER:
I haven't used this for a while and haven't tested it on any newer versions of Amarok. Let me know if it works for you.

I got the script to run fine in amarok, and it connects to my mpd server. I've got the context menu in my playlist which gives me the option of syncing my playlists, etc. but no matter what I do, nothing seems to happen. If I try to play something in amarok, it plays in amarok, not in mpd, am I not clear on what this is supposed to do?

You have to have your music both in amarok and in mpd. When syncing mpd is only told to play the same as amarok. Therefore the script has to know how it can find the local track in mpd: you have to tell it how the local paths are mapped to the paths on the server with mpd.

Mail me if you have any questions. I'm not checking kde-apps regularly.
