# CYP: Control Your Player
CYP is a web-based frontend for [MPD](https://www.musicpd.org/), the Music Player Daemon. You can use it to control the playback without having to install native application(s). It works in modern web browsers, both desktop and mobile.
## Screenshots

## Features
- Control the playback, queue, volume
- Save and load playlists
- Browse the library by artists/albums/directories
- Display album art via native MPD calls (no need to access the library; requires MPD >= 0.21)
- [Youtube-dl](https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/index.html) integration
- Dark/Light themes
## Installation
Make sure you have a working MPD setup first.
```sh
git clone https://github.com/ondras/cyp.git && cd cyp
npm i
node .
```
Point your browser to http://localhost:8080 to open the interface.
## Technology
- Connected to MPD via WebSockets (using the [ws2mpd](https://github.com/ondras/ws2mpd/) bridge)
- Token-based access to the WebSocket endpoint (better than an `Origin` check)
- Modern ES6+ (modules, async/await)
- Responsive layout via Flexbox
- CSS Custom Properties
- SVG icons (Material Design)
- Can spawn Youtube-dl to download audio files
- Album art retrieved directly from MPD (and cached via localStorage)
## TODO
- [ ] Bundling
- [ ] Range styling
- [ ] Browser testing
