[IDEA] Enable HTTPD streaming output in GUI (aka web radio)

[challenge]

Hello. I was thinking about enabling the HTTPD streaming directly from the web UI.

I mean the web radio feature of mpd, the one where you add an httpd output in the mpd.conf and it'll stream at the port you specify.

I'd like to have it exposed in UI, so that I can turn on/off without manual editing the mpd.conf.

HTTP streaming
Since version 0.15 there is a built-in HTTP streaming daemon/server that comes with MPD.
Configuration
To activate this server simply set it as output device in mpd.conf:

Code:

audio_output {
type "httpd"
name "My HTTP Stream"
encoder "vorbis" # optional
port "8000"
# quality "5.0" # do not define if bitrate is defined
bitrate "128" # do not define if quality is defined
format "44100:16:1"
always_on       "yes" # prevent MPD from disconnecting all listeners when playback is stopped.
tags            "yes" # httpd supports sending tags to listening streams.
}
