Work in progress
Upmpdcli is primarily a UPnP Renderer front-end to the MPD music player.
It can be used in a UPnP setup with a UPnP Server (e.g. MinimServer running on a NAS) and a UPnP controller app (e.g. BubbleUPnP on Android, mConnect on iOS). This may provide the best of both worlds, mpd playback sound quality with the better library & tags configuration of MinimServer plus a good UI with BubbleUPnP App.
Another option is to combine it with Logitech Media Server (LMS) with the DLNA/UPnP Bridge plugin installed. Upmpdcli can then be used as a player for LMS, providing mpd playback sound quality, but retaining the features of LMS and continue using the LMS phone app.
SnakeOil Music Player options
- Upmpdcli can be selected as a music server in SnakeOil. With this setup, upmpdcli will work as a UPnP renderer end point.
- Alternately, select upmpdcli as a music player and use either MinimServer or LMS as the music server.
Upmpdcli tweaks
Upmpdcli can be tweaked to provide simultaneous dual outputs. The method to do this is similar to the MPD process

Configuration File
/var/www/players/upmpdcli/upmpdcli.conf.template
This file is the base file used to run your instance. Put any of your customisations in there.
TODO: Your changes will disappear after a firmware update. So need to develop a workaround on this.
