XiaoPai Player Control

Control a XiaoPai (小湃) media player on the local network through its TCP/IP protocol.

Prerequisites

• The player and this machine must be on the same LAN.
• The player's PlayerSupportApp service must be running (auto-starts on boot).
• You need the player's IP address. Use auto-discovery (below) or ask the user.

Discover Player

The player registers an mDNS service (_xiaopai._tcp) on the LAN. Use any of these methods to find it without knowing the IP:

Linux/macOS:

# Browse for players (Bonjour)
dns-sd -B _xiaopai._tcp .
