mmc4w_diag.py is a simple tool to display the returned data for two commands.

• client.status()
• client.currentsong()

This provides a wealth of data about what's going on. Edit the mmc4w_diag.ini file so it has the IP address of the server you are connecting to. Then run mmc4w_diag.py from a terminal. The output should look something like this:

mmc4w_diag.py v0.0.2

Connected to server 192.168.1.22 on port 6600.
