openDesktop.org :
A script that emulates a MPD (Music Player Daemon -
http://www.musicpd.org/ ) by using Amarok as the actual player.
It translates the mpd protocol into dcop calls for amarok and thus
allow you to use mpd frontends to controll amarok over a network.
The script is listening on port 6601. Change to config vars on top of
main.py if you want.

Nice Idea. But I get a "error: ACK unknown command" everytime I try to connect (with mpc and gmpc).
The other clients I testet (sonata, xfce4-mpc und conky) don't work and don't tell me why.
Greetings,
Peter.

Does mpdemu have a website? or a subversion repository or anything where we can get the latest code?

Quick fix:
Change line 393 of main.py to:
com = "c_%s" %rargs[0].replace('\x00','').lower()
And it should work.

I was able to install this, and run it in amarok (after I edited where the music root was in the script). I then connected to it with a mpd client and was able to see songs, but I wasn't able to add them, play them, etc. likewise I couldn't get a stream to play.
Is there something I am needing to install that I'm missing?

Another problem is, that some client are very rigorous about the output. gmpc for example runs, but the connections dies from time to time but i have no idea why. Some clients even segfault :)
I will publish a new version in the next days that will feature a config dialog and will work with more clients.

Having this it should be possible to synchronise two Amarok instances just by using the mpd server and client. Maybe somebody wants to try this out and tell us if it worked.

I'm still working on getting more clients working as they should and some parts like file selection are not even implemented yet. It's 0.1 tech preview ;)
