ympd - Control MPD player from a Docker Image
Note: 1 of this post’s 5 links are now broken — mostly dead 2008–2013 feed-syndication infrastructure (FeedBurner, Gawker, AOL’s old blog network, Pheedo, Yahoo Pipes). Left as originally published.
After setting up a Streaming radio instance of MPD/Icecast2 running in a Docker image I was looking for a nice front end to control it.
I found ympd a MPD web GUI written in C, so created a Docker image to run it, https://hub.docker.com/r/alastairhm/docker-icecast/ it uses Alpine Linux so the image is only 6mb is size.
You run it linking to your Docker image which is running MPD.
docker run --name my-ympd -d -p 8080:8080 --link your_mpd_container:mpdhost alastair/docker-ympd
Then browse to http://localhost:8080/
For more info checkout this Docker compose file which runs both my icecast and ympd images.

Converting MP4 files to other divX and mp3 formats
I find myself often converting MP4 video files to divX and mp3 format to play on my LG phone.
I used to do this with VLC application but this required too much button poking on my part.
So after reading up on the Linux command line ffmpeg and mencoder utilities I’ve created this basic shell script to do it automatically.
#!/bin/bash
echo “MP4 Conversion”
for f in *.mp4;
do
echo “…Processing $f file…"
ffmpeg -i “$f” -vn -ac 2 -acodec libmp3lame -ab 128k echo $f|cut -d. -f1.mp3 > /dev/null 2>&1
mencoder “$f” -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vpass=1 -oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=3 -o echo $f|cut -d. -f1.divx > /dev/null 2>&1
done
This will convert all the mp4 files in the local directory to both divx and mp3 format ready to be transferred to my phone. Obviously you need to have the ffmpeg, mencoder and lame mp3 encoder installed on your Linux machine for this too work.
