The XMMSd web control plug-in enables users to control their XMMS media player with a Web browser. It offers a convenient and easy-to-use interface for managing music and playback settings remotely.
The XMMSd web control plug-in is a valuable tool for those who want to control their XMMS music player remotely via a web browser. It offers a GUI-like interface that is simple to use and includes HTML4 and CSS styles, as well as a plain-text interface intended for other front-ends to use. The need for this arose when the author wanted to create a jukebox but didn't want to implement playlists, decoding, and playing, as XMMS was already great at doing that.
To use the plug-in, you must have GLib 1.2.0, GTK+ 1.2.0, and the XMMS 1.2.0 installed. If you are unsure of how to install it, stick with the RPM or extract the tarball, then run "./configure" with the switches you need, "make," and finally as root "make install" or "make install-strip" if you don't want the debug symbols.
Once installed, the plug-in offers a variety of features when running as a plug-in or as a command line version. However, before activating the plug-in, it's essential to consider the security implications of who can access the port and who should have access.
In the configuration section, you can set which interface to bind the input port to and change the port used to connect to XMMS. You can also set the authentication, requiring a username and password from clients connecting before they can enter, although this is stored in plain text in ~/.xmms/config. As with all network servers, think carefully before allowing access to avoid potential security risks.
Overall, the XMMSd web control plug-in is an easy-to-use and functional solution that allows you to control your XMMS music player remotely through a web browser. It is compatible with GNU/Linux, but its compatibility with other platforms is unknown.
