So I feel fairly comfortable saying that I have ‘solved’ the problem of using MPD via UPnP at least in a rough slightly-better-than-prototype sense. I will of course continue to polish MPD-UPnP but I wonder, how can I make Zhaan even more useful? There is this nifty library called pianobar with this even more nifty [...]

Zhaan Controller
I had some pretty serious issues with my scratchbox environment but thanks to the PR1.2 SDK my life is much easier and things are working again. Since things are working Zhaan has been making some lovely progress. In particular I have now implemented a complete control panel in Zhaan. I have also implemented the [...]
MPD-UPnP Media Serving!
Just a quick update on the status of MPD-UPnP. The 1 person who watches my github repo will have already noticed my lastest big push: http://github.com/ZachGoldberg/MPD-UPnP/commit/8a7fce2b4a11e63bc91ae372f6dfcd59beabd7c7 . As of this commit one can start a server from which one can entirely control playback via MPD. Steps 1) and 2) from my previous post are now [...]
MPD-UPnP Status update
I have decided that, for now anyway. I am going to substitute my MPD-UPnP project for the Canola GUPnP plugin as part of my project for Penn. If time permits (and I can get Canola to work on my machine, sigh) I will still do the Canola integration. So, to finish of MPD-UPnP we need [...]
It’s Alive — MPD + UPnP
I’ve put together a (working) quick and dirty script to wrap MPD in a UPnP Media Renderer. This is far from a complete solution, but it allows playing/pausing via UPnP Control Points. (Python-GUPnP CP works just dandy for it!) from gi.repository import GUPnP, GObject, GLibimport mpd CON_ID = NoneMPDCLIENT = None GObject.threads_init() def setup_server(): ctx [...]
Pondering MPD and UPnP
I had the idea tonight to try and get MPD to act as a well behaved UPnP MediaServer. Low and behold, there exists python-mpd. I smell a new use for GUPnP-Python in the next few days
