Stylophone

Music Player Daemon Client for Windows, Xbox, macOS and iOS/iPadOS.
Based on MpcNET, my own fork of the original .NET Client Library for MPD. (now on NuGet!)

Get the macOS version for free from the Releases!

Buy a sticker if you want!

Features

• Full playback control
• Playlist management (Create, Add/Remove tracks, Delete)
• Picture-in-picture mode
• Live tile on Windows 10
• Local playback support if your MPD server has httpd as an output
• Integration with native playback controls
• Browse library by albums, or directly by folders
• All data is pulled from your MPD Server only
• Support for both albumart and readpicture commands for maximum compatibility with your cover art library

Usage with a locally hosted MPD server

If your MPD server is locally hosted, you're probably running into the issue where UWP apps can't access localhost.
(See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33259763/uwp-enable-local-network-loopback/33263253#33263253 for a summary.) There is a workaround you can use with checknetisolation which should work:

checknetisolation loopbackexempt -a -n="13459Difegue.Stylophone_zd7bwy3j4yjfy"

Protocol usage (Windows only)

Stylophone can be launched through the stylophone:// protocol on Windows devices; This feature also makes it so you can control some features of the app through protocol invocations.

The following URLs are supported:

• stylophone://?verb=stylophone_play or stylophone://?verb=stylophone_pause : Toggle playback status
• stylophone://?verb=stylophone_stop : Stop playback
• stylophone://?verb=stylophone_next : Go to next track
• stylophone://?verb=stylophone_prev : Go to previous track

Translation

You can easily contribute translations to Stylophone! To help translate, follow these instructions.

Adding a new language (requires Visual Studio 2019)

• Create a new issue with the subject [Translation] fr-CA where you replace fr-CA with whatever language-region code you'll be translating into.
  • If an issue already exists, then don't do this step.
• Fork and clone this repo
• Open in VS 2019
• In the Stylophone.Localization project, find the Strings folder.
• Create a new file inside Strings that looks like this: Resources.en-US.resx but using the language you're translating into.
• Copy all the existing data from Resources.en-US.resx into your new Resources.[language].resx
• Translate the strings from english to your language
• Once done, then commit > push > create pull request!

Improving an existing language (can be done with any text editor)

• Fork and clone this repo
• Open the .resx file (e.g. Resources.en-US.resx) you want to edit. Choose any text editor
• Translate
• Commit > push > create pull request!
