mmm-mpd's Issues

MMM-MPD

I was receiving the following error when I was starting my Magicmirror after having installed MMM-MPD:
"ERROR! Could not find main module js file for MMM-MPD" and MMM-MPD would not start.

I solved this issue by renaming the MMM-MPD directory in modules to mpd_client.

Install instructions are not right

I did this to make the module work:

• Clone the repositorie to the modules folder
• npm install mpd
• Add the module to the config.js on the config folder
• Use the module name "mpd_client" and not "mpd_config", as is sugested on the README.md.

Wrong Folder naming

The git clone create a folder MMM-MPD in modules folder, the module doesn't work till the folder renaming as in config file.

Updated readme

Does not start

Hello, I hope anybody can help me.

I installed it as described in the readme and the other issues.

When I start MM, following error appears:

    WARNING! Could not validate config file. Starting with default configuration. 
    Please correct syntax errors at or above this line: 
    ReferenceError: NodeHelper is not defined

MPD-Server is running on the same machine, my config is

                { 
                        module: "mpd_client",
                        position: "top_right",  // This can be any of the regions.
                        config: {
                                // See 'Configuration options' for more information.
                                hostname: "localhost",
                                port: 6600
                        }
                },

Supported still?

Any chance of getting this module working again? I've installed, added to my config and it never actually shows on my magicmirror, tried all the advace from the other issues and nothing. I see it hasn't been worked on since 2018 but i'd be nice to get this module working again.. And yes i've tried 'coderpussy' fork but that's a no go either, plus it doesn't say it's had any changed from the main branch so idk?

Not displaying anything

Hi, I have an issue getting this module to show on the mirror. I am running mopidy on the same rpi. MPD is running and I am able to control playback MPdroid on my phone on "192.168.1.81" "6600".

I have used "localhost", "::", "127.0.0.1" and finally "192.168.1.81" in the configuration to try and it get it working. Unfortunately, I can't.

Is there sone thing silly I am missing

here my config:
` {

position: "middle_right", // This can be any of the regions.
config: {
hostname: 'localhost',
port: '6600'
}

            },

`

I change the line in mpd_clients.js to:
Module.register("MMM-MPD",{

npm install:

npm WARN [email protected] No repository field.
npm WARN [email protected] license should be a valid SPDX license expression

But no connection to mpd-demon and nothing shows on the screen.

Can you help?

touch feature

Hi, I tried your mpd client and it works great. Thank you very much. I can see the State of the player.
Could you add a touch function to start and stop the player?
So if I click on the state symbol it changes and starts playing or if it is playing it goes to pause?
That would be nice!
Have a wonderful day!
