browser-based remote control for cmus

cmus-remote web app

This is a web app to control a server instance of cmus, a powerful music player, remotely. So far it only supports basic player and volume controls, not adding items to the playlist.

Dependencies

• Python (tested with 2.7)
• bottle
• sh

The web app also makes use of Zepto, Kube, and Font Awesome. These are all included. Thanks to the creators for making them available under permissive licenses.

Instructions

The web app can run on the same host as the cmus instance you want to control or a different one, but both hosts will have to have cmus installed.

On the web app host

• Install bottle and sh and fetch cmus_app.

    $ pip install bottle sh
    $ git clone git://github.com/jboynyc/cmus_app
  

• Edit the configuration file.

• Run the app:

    $ cd cmus_app
    $ python app.py [config-file]
  

On the cmus host

• Run an instance of cmus using the --listen option.

    $ cmus --listen <host>
  

• Set a password in cmus using :set passwd=<passwd>.

Anywhere on your network

• Open your browser and navigate to http://<host>:<port>.

Enjoy!
