How to auto start music playing when a least one client is connected?

Feature request

Hello, I'am using httpd audio_output to stream my music in my local network.

Now I want to achieve that the music begins to play when at least on client is connected and stops playing when there are no clients connected. I tried to set log_level to verbose in order to see something like "client connected" or "client disconnected" but there is not such a message.

Is there an other way how I can trigger mpc play and mpc stop?

Thanks in advance.

No, this feature does not exist currently. But since it's open source, you can implement it (and submit a PR).

Auto-resume does work with pulseaudio outputs, including remote network outputs.

Is there any music server with that feature? I am trying to create a radio station for my kids for when they want to listen episodes of their favorite shows, but for that the stream needs to first start when they start their clients.
