Musikilo v2 - a complete overhaul

Okay so musikilo v2 has been released and here are the news:

Entire codebase has been overhauled and I’ve added mpd and squeezebox plugins. I ended up not adding spotify plugin cause I was bit tired of working on musikilo, and I wouldn’t use it and spotify is not a nice company. Hutspot with newer librespot works so there’s not much need

Also as to mpd/spotify/squeezebox plugins. Yes I know that smpc and squeezer exists, i even used smpc code to create mpd plugin. Difference is that, musikilo does not implement all the features, just the features I care about. For example I don’t use library, i just use directory listing to play all the files. So you cannot search, you cannot list by artist or whatever. If you want full functionality I encourage you to use squeezer and smpc, but if your requirements match mine, as a simple remote, you can use musikilo with all in one place.

Also musikilo doesn’t generate much interest even with those 3 plugins so motivation to add spotify or anything else (gregguh made me icons for spotify/deezer/tidal for fun) but If you think i should add for example spotify remote (not running librespot just a remote) well then, this topic has plenty of space for replies. But spotify would be quite difficult to implement cause essentially i would have to add search (which is not impossible) but people might simply not like limited functionality hence hutspot is there.

So yeah tell me your thoughts on this update and if you haven’t tried it plz try at least if you have nextcloud/mpd/squeezebox
