Moped is a minimal web interface for MPD that shows the current song playing, along with some basic controls. It is NOT a full featured client.

It's just a quick hack for myself so that I can change the volume on the server and see what's playing from my phone (otherwise ssh with ncpmpcpp is the simplest and best way to access the server).

• v1: vanilla js in /public
• v2: react ts in /client, see README

1. copy the .env.example templates to .env files in the project root AND in client and do edit them
   • in BOTH the client and server .env set the network host and port to the same (eg. 192.168.0.123 and 8080)
   • if you are using a firewall, then please open the port you want to listen on (for example 8080)
2. use npm start to compile the server and the client and start them up
3. or alternatively check the package.json in root and in client

The MPD protocol is a "streamingish" protocol and translating it to REST is far from ideal: ncmpcpp running on a 80x25 terminal will be much faster through ssh, especially with long running commands, since it can dump the server output as it comes in, instead of waiting for the final OK marker.

A REST api will keep the http channel open, until the response is finished and is ready to send down the wire, to the client.
