basic and ugly mpc-python-GTK3 mpd remote

[alexandre]

I could not find any mpd remote for phosh (some GTK desktop client do the job, but they're not appropriate to a mobile device), so here is a simple python file to perform basic actions (play, stop, pause, next, previous, enable/disable outputs). It relies on mpc to act with the server. One has to change the login string of the script with the right passwd and IP (let a space at the end). If you know about a real app that does the job, tell me. If you ever write one, i would try it . At home, the outputs i want to control are numbered 2 and 3 : change that according to your wishes…
