Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

node-red-contrib-mpd

v1.3.0

Published

A node-red node to control a mpd server and receive status updates from the server like the current played song

Readme

node-red-contrib-mpd

Two node-red nodes for controlling/querying one or multiple Music Player Daemon (MPD) servers. If you don't know what mpd or node-red is, have a look at: mpd, node-red.

News

See change log.

  • Since version 1.1.1 the reconnection issue is fixed!!!

Installation

Run npm install node-red-contrib-mpd in your node-red user folder (usually $HOME/.node-red). Have a look at adding nodes for more details about installing nodes.

Features

Provides two nodes, one for controlling and one for querying:

  • MPD input node: everytime the status of the mpd server changes, this node constructs a message, which payload contains two objects. One serves the information about the current played song, the other contains the status of the mpd-server like stop, play etc.
  • MPD input node: enables you to send any command to the mpd server. See mpd command reference for details about possible commands. If the command returns something, it will be available in the payload as an array.

Configuration

Just specify the ip and port of each your mpd-servers in config nodes. Only one connection per server is established, allowing to use many of the mpd nodes without performance issues.
