Monocle Radio

What it is

Back in the day I decided that making some kind of internet jukebox or radio of some kind would be cool. Also I wanted to have my music collection accessible from anywhere. The Music Player Daemon was a great backend which was already very feature complete and had support for streaming to Icecast servers in the SVN. I used a PHP interface class written by Ben Carlisle and created Monocle Radio.

What you need

A web server with PHP
A computer with MPD 0.12.0 or later and a music collection
(optionally) An icecast server. This is where the radio part comes in. Also MPD needs to be configured to output to the icecast server. Look in /usr/share/docs/mpd/examples/ to see how to do that.
(optionally) A MySQL server

Features

Browse and update the database
Search the database
Add music to the playlist from the database
Navigate through the playlist
Play, stop, pause the music
Basic privileged login
Optional user management
View a song's information

Installation

#########################################

v1.4.1
* Somehow the .htaccess file was left out of 1.4, fixed
* Clarified explanation of some options in config.php
* Added meta tag to indicate unicode

v1.4
* Fixed layout bug on folders in the database.
* Added data sanitation to the audit function. That could have been nasty.
* Fixed a bug causing directories with [ and ] in them to go berserk
* Since if you have an html-breaking file in your collection you should
  fix it anyway, html sanitation has been toned down which allows display
  of Japanese and other unicode characters.

v1.3
* Added an install page, no more structure.sql
* Changed ADOdb code to use the older data retrieval system
* Minor change in a RewriteRule regex in .htaccess which didn't work under
  Apache 1.3.33
* Made a front page optional. See README
* Minor bug fixes

v1.2
* Removed "Parent Directory" link in favor of links to each of the ancestral
directories
* Users can change their own passwords now
* Added moving songs around in playlist
* Added user auditing system
* Removed extra tr on directory listings for privileged users
* Removed instaplay because it was causing mpd to request duplicate mount and
  not play until restarted
* Added user tracking system
* Fixed a minor bug in the database page that relied on the configuration of
  my server

v1.1 - Released 08/22/2005
* Added basic user management system with two levels of access
* Fixed the database status display
* Broke index.php into separate files for each page for less insanity
* Changed some minor layout stuff
* Moved the icecast server configuration into $cfg in config.php

v1.0 - Released 08/01/2005
# Initial release
