Question: what is the minimum version of mpd supported. #25

Closed pcwalden closed 9 years ago

pcwalden commented 9 years ago

I currently use mpdas 0.3.0 and would like to upgrade to 0.4.0, but my primary mpd server is on a RaspberryPi with a relatively up to date Raspbian distribution:

distribution="Debian" distversion="7.6" kernel="3.12.28+" architecture="armv6l"

The mpd version provided is 0.16.7, and is unlikely to change until they upgrade to the next version of Debian.

Given that the mpd version is fairly old, what is the minimal mpd version expectation of mpdas?

I do not want to update mpdas and find my mpd version is not supported.

This depends entirely on what libmpdclient version you have installed and how well that version supports your mpd. So mpdas is not really the factor here..

While I don't believe that there have been any major changes in the mpd protocol, my guess is as good as anyone's. Ultimately you will probably have to try and find out yourself.

TL;DR: It probably won't be a problem, but I don't know for sure. On Sep 5, 2015 7:14 PM, "pcwalden" notifications@github.com wrote:

Well the version of mpd does determine the commands and arguments accepted by the protocol. I ran into a problem a short while back wherein playlist load command would not accept range arguments as documented in the mpd.ord wiki. Turned out the range arguments were added in version 0.17; my mpd is 0.16. The current mpd version is 0.19 and it adds several more capabilities. The earliest version AFAIK is 0.14.

I hoping someone could easily point out the baseline version of mpd that mpdas expects.

I guess not. I'll let you know what happens.

I understand, but like I said, libmpdclient takes care of communication with MPD, so you'll need to do your research in that department. Let me know how it goes, please :)
