SMPC [fork]
SMPC is an full featured Music Player Daemon (MPD) client, which is a port of symbian application qmobilempd, and created by djselbeck (https://openrepos.net/content/djselbeck/smpc). My main goal is to iron out some annoyances, no major overhaul. Be aware that if you decide to use the last.fm metadata, artists images are no longer available for download (only an image of a star is shown).
Features:
- album view
- artist view
- landscape GUI, turn your device over
- local metadata database
- artist/album information
- artist/album images db cache
- filebrowser
- search
- basic playlist control
- multiple server profiles
- output control
- mpris control on lockscreen
- support voor additional server settings like consume and single
- hardware volume keys can be used for mpd volume

I think you need to provide more info for me. MPD does read tags from Opus/ogg file?

I don't know at what level tags are reading from file but I conclude from you comment that it is MPD level. Looking at Wiki and MPD web page Vorbis Comments are supported by MPD > readcomments {URI}

So you are talking about the comment tags in general?
SMPC indeed gets its tag info from MPD. De MPD protocol call "readcomments" does provide the comment tag amongst others.
SMPC does not invoke readcomments. The comment tag is a totally not defined tag, so often it contains a lot of rubbish, meaning I am not really interested in that info, and what should I use it for in SMPC?

I totally agree that id3 comments tags very often are rubbish but as long as Vorbis files do not support id3 tags, the Vorbis Comments is the only way to get song and artist name form Vorbis files such as opus.

I have the basic tags (artist/album/track) from my few ogg/vorbis files (tagged by Picard) in SMPC. Does that mean you have some other format?

App needs a little maintenance, disable or add Sailjail profile. Thanks for your hard work on this fork.

Whey ade, thanks for the fork and work! I'm using mopidy and everything is working fine except the search for youtube. One can chose betwen artis,ablum,title or files. To find youtube results we have to search for "any" or "query" in gmpc. Is it possible to add this search field to get results from all plugins running on mopidy or am I missing something?
Kind Regards and thanks for your work, kk

SMPC is a MPD client. The MPD part of any product like Volumio or Mopidy may be working, but that's it if you ask me.
Never heard of GMPC. It seems to have some plugin system, but I cannot find any info on Mopidy youtube searches in that context. I do use Cantata as a MPD GUI on my desktop occasionally but I do not see such option there.
Could be that a real Mopidy (android) client like Remotedy or Modidy Mobile web extensions do support for this, but at least I am not going to add any non MPD stuff. Someone who can provide a non intrusive plugin system for this purpose could always create a merge request.
