Ruby MPD client

master
develop

Yet another ruby mpd client.

It does not really provide you some object model for interacting with MPD. Mostly it's just collection of MPD commands with different names.

There's MPD::Connection wrapper over Socket, MPD::ServerResponse - string with some useful methods, MPD::Playlist - verypoor abstraction over song list and MPD::Commands module that contains all implemented commands.

See on rubydoc.

gem 'ruby-mpd-client'

require 'ruby-mpd-client'

MPD::Commands::SetVolume.new(host: 'localhost') # :host can be ommited
                        .execute(75)
MPD::Commands::Next.new.execute

#
# to use one connection
#
conn = MPD::Connection.new(host: 'localhost', port: 6600)
conn.connect
conn.gets # first MPD response is always "OK <version>\n"
MPD::Commands::Next.new(connection: conn).execute
MPD::Commands::Pause.new(connection: conn).execute

For available commands see MPD::Comands subclasses on rubydoc.info.

I guess your contribution would be a some command implementation or some models better than MPD::Playlist and MPD::Song. Feel free to create pull requests, issues or contact me.
