# Stream plugin
A stream plugin is (this might change in future) an executable binary or script that is started by the server for a specific stream and offers playback control capabilities and provides information about the stream's state, as well as metadata for the currently playing track.
The Snapcast server communicates via stdin/stdout with the plugin and sends newline delimited JSON-RPC> commands and receives responses and notifications from the plugin, as described below. In upcoming releases shared library plugins might be supported as well.
A stream plugin is an executable binary or script that is started by the server for a specific stream and offers playback control capabilities and provides information about the stream's state, as well as metadata for the currently playing track.
The Snapcast server communicates via stdin/stdout with the plugin and sends [newline delimited](http://ndjson.org/) [JSON-RPC-2.0](https://www.jsonrpc.org/specification) commands and receives responses and notifications from the plugin, as described below. In upcoming releases shared library plugins might be supported as well.
A stream is connected to a plugin with the `controlscript` stream source parameter, e.g.
```ini
[stream]
source = pipe:///tmp/snapfifo?name=MPD&controlscript=meta_mpd.py
```
If a relative path is given, Snapserver will search the script in `/usr/share/snapserver/plug-ins`.
