Why this combination? I like mpd as a player but let down by its Android client e.g. MPDroid has a basic UI and limited ability to configure the library, tags. I have been using UPnP for a while. So, by using upmpdcli, it gave me the best of both worlds, good mpd playback with a better UPnP server, MinimServer with its library, tags configuration and a good UI with BubbleUPnP App.
However, MinimServer would soon be moving to a paid model, with yearly fees! I am therefore exploring using LMS as a UPnP Server.
In interim before it makes the next release, how do I start upmdpcli manually via Putty and/or get upmpdcli to start up automatically?
p/s it will then be very easy to compare Squeezlite vs mpd (in upmpdcli disguise), by switching phone apps. I can confirm that the there is no difference between mpd and upmpdcli.
