ruby-ampache

Ruby-ampache is a really simple command line player for the ampache music server.

Installation

You need to have mplayer installed to use ruby-ampache. Mplayer is used for playing music streams.

Gem can be installed as usual

gem install ruby-ampache

Usage

First you have to write a .ruby-ampache file and save it in your $HOME

example file:

AMPACHE_HOST="http://path_to_your_ampache_host"
AMPACHE_USER="username"
AMPACHE_USER_PSW="userpsw"

Simply execute ruby-ampache that should be found in you $PATH after installation

TODO

This is an alpha version and still has some issues. If you kill the application mplayer will continue to run in background. Also sometimes if mplayer get stucked playing a song the app does the same.

If you found more issues please let me know and I’ll try to fix them as soon as possible

Notes

Special thanks goes to the developer of mplayer-ruby gem. I’ve borrowed a couple of methods from his useful library

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

  • Fork the project.

  • Make your feature addition or bug fix.

  • Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

  • Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

  • Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
