Module handling collection commands

Version

version 2.001

Overview

POE::Component::Client::MPD::Collection is responsible for handling general purpose commands. They are in a dedicated module to achieve easier code maintenance.

To achieve those commands, send the corresponding event to the POE::Component::Client::MPD session you created: it will be responsible for dispatching the event where it is needed. Under no circumstance should you call directly subs or methods from this module directly.

Read POE::Component::Client::MPD's pod to learn how to deal with answers from those commands.

Following is a list of collection-related events accepted by POCOCM.

Retrieving songs & directories

coll.all_items( [$path] )

Return all Audio::MPD::Common::Items (both songs & directories) currently known by mpd.

If $path is supplied (relative to mpd root), restrict the retrieval to songs and dirs in this directory.

coll.all_items_simple( [$path] )

Return all Audio::MPD::Common::Items (both songs & directories) currently known by mpd.

If $path is supplied (relative to mpd root), restrict the retrieval to songs and dirs in this directory.

/!\ Warning: the Audio::MPD::Common::Item::Song objects will only have their attribute file filled. Any other attribute will be empty, so don't use this sub for any other thing than a quick scan!
