Mopidy Mobile

Mopidy Mobile is a simple, easy to use remote that lets you fully control a Mopidy music server from your mobile device. It is available as a Web client extension <http://mopidy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ext/web/> and a hybrid app <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5_in_mobile_devices#Hybrid_Mobile_Apps> for Android version 5.1 and later. Users of older Android versions may still access the Web extension using Google's Chrome browser <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.chrome>. On Apple devices, the Web client should work when running iOS 7 or later.

In a nutshell, Mopidy Mobile lets you

• browse and search your entire Mopidy music library.
• search within selected directories only.
• edit the tracks in the current tracklist.
• create and edit playlists (requires Mopidy server v1.x).
• retrieve cover art from selected online resources.
• choose from multiple available user interface languages.

Additionally, the Android app allows you to

• control playback from your device's lock screen.
• change volume using your device's hardware buttons.
• switch between multiple Mopidy servers on your network.

Installation

The Web extension can be installed from PyPi_ by running::

pip install Mopidy-Mobile

The Android app is available from the Google Play <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.co.kemmer.mopidy_mobile>_ store. You may also join the Beta testing program <https://play.google.com/apps/testing/at.co.kemmer.mopidy_mobile>_ to preview unreleased versions.

Note that the Web client is designed to be added to your home screen, so it is launched in full-screen "app mode". If you don't know how to add a Web application to your home screen, there are plenty of instructions available online for both Android <https://www.google.at/search?q=android+chrome+add+to+homescreen> and iOS <https://www.google.at/search?q=ios+safari+add+to+homescreen>.

Configuration

The following configuration values are available for the Web extension:

• mobile/enabled: Whether the extension should be enabled. Defaults to true.

• mobile/title: The Web application's title, which will also be displayed when added to your home screen. The variables $hostname and $port can be used in the title. Defaults to Mopidy Mobile on $hostname.

• mobile/ws_url: The WebSocket URL used to connect to your Mopidy server. Set this if Mopidy's WebSocket is not available at its default path /mopidy/ws/, for example when using a reverse proxy.

Building from Source

Mopidy Mobile is built using Ionic v1 <http://ionicframework.com/docs/v1/>, AngularJS <https://angularjs.org/> and Apache Cordova <http://cordova.apache.org/>_, so it is recommended to familiarize yourself with these before you start.

To build the Mopidy Web extension, you need to have npm <http://www.npmjs.org/> and gulp <http://gulpjs.com/> installed. Then run::

npm install gulp install gulp dist pip install --editable .

To build the app for Android, please follow Ionic's installation guide <http://ionicframework.com/docs/guide/installation.html>_ to make sure you have everything needed for Android development. Then, in addition to the commands above, run::

ionic cordova platform add android ionic cordova build android

Please refer to the Ionic CLI <http://ionicframework.com/docs/cli/>_ documentation for further information on how to run the app on an actual device, or in a Web browser or emulator for testing.

Due to lack of resources, iOS is not supported, and it is unlikely that the app will run unchanged on that platform. However, being a hybrid app, it shouldn't take too much effort to make it work, so please feel free to fork and give it a try!

Contributing Translations

If you'd like to see Mopidy Mobile in your native language, start by having a look at the existing translations <./www/app/locale>. Mopidy Mobile uses angular-translate <https://angular-translate.github.io/> for internationalization, and stores translations as simple text files. Just take one of the existing files and replace all foreign language text as you see fit. Words within curly brackets {...} are placeholders, used either for variable names ({name}) which needn't be translated, or for pluralization ({count, plural, one{1 Sekunde} other{# Sekunden}}) so you can provide different texts for zero (=0), one, or multiple (other, with # being replaced by the actual number) seconds or tracks. When you're done, please open a new issue - or even a full-fledged pull request, if you like - for submitting your translations.
