Alexa MPD Skill

This is a basic Alexa skill that allows control of an MPD server. The MPD server must have a publicly accessible URL. This should be easily achievable with port forwarding and dynamic DNS or a fixed IP.

I have not tested with Mopidy but in theory it should work.

It uses the mpd-api module

It just has basic features as that is all I need (I mostly use ncmpcpp) but should serve as a good basis to extend into an all singing all dancing MPD control.

FYI I use MPD with Snapcast for multi room audio (as Alexa's sucks).

Installation

You should be able to import this as an Alexa hosted skill directly from this git repo, I have not tried this my self though. Instructions here (let me know how you get on).

Enjoy!
