Hello ;) I had that idea yesterday for a server to server connection - if an mpd server could connect to another you could distribute your music on different computers - if you have your notebook and your pc for example and you have music on your notebook which isn't on the pc you could hear the music on your pc when the MPDs are connected.
This would mean that the following things have to be changed: * the protocol => A "server2server" mode should be implemented i think, like the idle mode (only if you are in this mode you are able to execute certain commands like to initiate the stream of certain songs or so) * the configuration file => an option to activate or deactivate this feature; if the streaming should happen outside of the normal MPD protocol there must be an option for the port or port range to use or something like that. => authentication? I haven't read enough code of your project to know exactly where i should begin and how the streaming should be made etc. But i have some ideas already. I think there are two ways to accomplish the streaming. 1. Outside of the normal MPD protocol pro: an existing standardized streaming protocol could be used con: another port has to be opened 2. Inside of the normal MPD protocol pro: no other port has to be opened con: a bit more complex to implement, i think I personally would prefer the second way. I could imagine that all song files are split into numerated chunks (256KB or so) and that the other server gets those chunks with "chunk <n>". I would like to try to implement that and appreciate any interest or even help :) and critics about that concept, too, of course. Maybe it doesn't fit into your concept or so... What do you think about it? Greetings, Steffen P.S. don't you have an irc channel?
