The `mpd` platform allows you to control a [Music Player Daemon](http://www.musicpd.org/) from Home Assistant. Unfortunately you will not be able to manipulate the playlist (add or delete songs) or add transitions between the songs.
|
|
|
|
Even though no playlist manipulation is possible, it is possible to use the play_media service to load an existing saved playlist as part of an automation or scene.
|
|
|
|
To add MPD to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
media_player:
|
|
- platform: mpd
|
|
host: IP_ADDRESS
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% configuration %}
|
|
host:
|

|
required: true
|
|
type: string
|

Example script to load a saved playlist called "DeckMusic" and set the volume:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
relaxdeck:
|
|
sequence:
|
|
- service: media_player.play_media
|
|
data:
|
|
entity_id: media_player.main
|
|
media_content_type: playlist
|
|
media_content_id: DeckMusic
|
|
|
|
- service: media_player.volume_set
|
|
data:
|
|
entity_id: media_player.main
|
|
volume_level: 0.60
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This platform works with [Music Player Daemon](http://www.musicpd.org/) and [mopidy](https://www.mopidy.com/) with [Mopidy-MPD](https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/ext/mpd/) as used by [Pi MusicBox](http://www.pimusicbox.com/).
