NAME

       POE::Component::Client::MPD::Commands - module handling basic mpd commands

VERSION

       version 2.000

DESCRIPTION

       POE::Component::Client::MPD::Commands is responsible for handling general purpose
       commands. They are in a dedicated module to achieve easier code maintenance.

       To achieve those commands, send the corresponding event to the POCOCM session you created:
       it will be responsible for dispatching the event where it is needed. Under no circumstance
       should you call directly subs or methods from this module directly.

       Read POCOCM's pod to learn how to deal with answers from those commands.

       Following is a list of general purpose events accepted by POCOCM.

CONTROLLING THE SERVER

   version( )
       Return mpd's version number as advertised during connection. Note that mpd returns
       protocol version when connected. This protocol version can differ from the real mpd
       version. eg, mpd version 0.13.2 is "speaking" and thus advertising version 0.13.0.

   password( $password )
       Sends a connection password to mpd. Used internally on connect, but can be called whenever
       if you're feeling like it.

   kill( )
       Kill the mpd server, and request the pococm to be shutdown.

   updatedb( [$path] )
       Force mpd to rescan its collection. If $path (relative to MPD's music directory) is
       supplied, MPD will only scan it - otherwise, MPD will rescan its whole collection.

   urlhandlers( )
       Return an array of supported URL schemes.

HANDLING VOLUME & OUTPUT

   volume( $volume )
       Sets the audio output volume percentage to absolute $volume. If $volume is prefixed by '+'
       or '-' then the volume is changed relatively by that value.

   output_enable( $output )
       Enable the specified audio output. $output is the ID of the audio output.

   output_disable( $output )
       Disable the specified audio output. $output is the ID of the audio output.

RETRIEVING INFO FROM CURRENT STATE

   stats( )
       Return an Audio::MPD::Common::Stats object with the current statistics of MPD.

   status( )
       Return an Audio::MPD::Common::Status object with the current status of MPD.

   current( )
       Return an Audio::MPD::Common::Item::Song representing the song currently playing.

   song( [$song] )
       Return an Audio::MPD::Common::Item::Song representing the song number $song. If $song is
       not supplied, returns the current song.

   songid( [$songid] )
       Return an Audio::MPD::Common::Item::Song representing the song id $songid. If $songid is
       not supplied, returns the current song.

ALTERING MPD SETTINGS

   repeat( [$repeat] )
       Set the repeat mode to $repeat (1 or 0). If $repeat is not specified then the repeat mode
       is toggled.

   fade( [$seconds] )
       Enable crossfading and set the duration of crossfade between songs. If $seconds is not
       specified or $seconds is 0, then crossfading is disabled.

   random( [$random] )
       Set the random mode to $random (1 or 0). If $random is not specified then the random mode
       is toggled.

CONTROLLING PLAYBACK

   play( [$song] )
       Begin playing playlist at song number $song. If no argument supplied, resume playing.

   playid( [$song] )
       Begin playing playlist at song ID $song. If no argument supplied, resume playing.

   pause( [$sate] )
       Pause playback. If $state is 0 then the current track is unpaused, if $state is 1 then the
       current track is paused.

       Note that if $state is not given, pause state will be toggled.

   stop( )
       Stop playback.

   next( )
       Play next song in playlist.

   prev( )
       Play previous song in playlist.

   seek( $time, [$song] )
       Seek to $time seconds in song number $song. If $song number is not specified then the perl
       module will try and seek to $time in the current song.

   seekid( $time, [$songid] )
       Seek to $time seconds in song ID $songid. If $songid number is not specified then the perl
       module will try and seek to $time in the current song.
