Usage of mpd unclear. #29

Closed ZaxonXP closed 4 years ago

ZaxonXP commented 4 years ago

In the help file on github it is described that it is possible to use mpd together with the deezer-downloader. However it is not clear for me if mpd can be used to search Deezer and download/play from it or it is only used as a player after the album/songs are downloaded using web interface and deezer-downloader. Please clarify.

I would like to use the Deezer from linux console only, but I am not sure if it is possible or it always the web gui has to be used.

Regards, Piotr

Hey, with the deezer-downloader you can search and download music. MPD only works with a local database of music which was downloaded previously. If you want to use it from the command line there are two possibilities:

run the deezer-downloader in a Docker container and use its rest api
build a wrapper around the functions of in music_backend.py. You may have to adjust some minor things.
