Extension for playing streaming music.
The stream backend will handle streaming of URIs matching the stream/protocols config value, assuming the needed GStreamer plugins are installed.
None. The extension just needs Mopidy.

If the stream extension should be enabled or not.
Whitelist of URI schemas to allow streaming from.
This backend does not provide a library or similar. It simply takes any URI added to Mopidy’s tracklist that matches any of the protocols in the stream/protocols setting and tries to play back the URI using GStreamer. E.g. if you’re using an MPD client, you’ll just have to find your clients “add URI” interface, and provide it with the direct URI of the stream.
Currently the stream backend can only work with URIs pointing direcly at streams, and not intermediate playlists which is often used. See #303 to track the development of playlist expansion support.
