Installation

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.
