Exaile Web Display is a plugin for the music player Exaile that adds web display functionality to Exaile. The plugin creates a small html file that can be called then from local or remote systems. If write-access is guaranteed, this file can be placed into a webserver directory structure as well (e. g. /var/www).

The formatting of the Exaile Web Display output is completely customizable. Therefore it is possible to e. g. remove all html parts and create a plain text file only.
