myMPD v5.2.0

myMPD 5.2.0 supports embedded albumart through a plugin, that uses libmediainfo. It became a plugin because i did not want to introduce any more dependencies. The plugin is build automatically, if libmediainfo is found. The plugin must be enabled in the configuration file.

Another nice feature detects the mpd music_directory automatically, if myMPD connects over a local socket to mpd. If not, you must configure the musicdirectory option in /etc/mympd/mympd.conf. The symlinks within htdocs are no longer needed.

The last feature enables myMPD to send a love song message to a running scrobbling client through the mpd client protocol.
