# Stream plugin
A stream plugin is (this might change in future) a 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 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.
## Requests:
A Stream plugin must support and handle the following requests, sent by the Snapcast server
### Plugin.Stream.Player.Control:

```
