| Software Used: | MusicController |
We have a wifi-enabled music station to play songs in the common room via an amplifier.
Software
The Music playback is controlled by Mopidy. Any code for setting up mopidy for the needs of the CoMakingSpace can be found on Github.
Hardware
This project runs on a Raspberry Pi located in the common room, next to the sound system and the laser printer.
Usage
As documented on the Network page, the Raspberry Pi provides a MPD Daemon on Port 6600 and a webinterface on port 8888. Therefore, if you just want to use your browser to control the music, please navigate to http://comakingcontroller:8888.
It is able to playback YouTube videos (add it to the queue by using yt:videoID), but this is very slow and not recommended. Webradio stations can also be played.
In case you want to add your own music, please insert a USB drive. You can then play it using the webinterface (Please navigate to Browse --> Files --> usbdrives)
Further Improvements / things to donate
- Add a dedicated Soundcard (USB or a HAT)
- In case you want to change settings, add mopidy plugins or anything similar, please contact Martin, Olaf or the Management
