mpdart is a simple X application that displays the album art of the currently playing mpd song and lets you toggle play pause. It spends almost all of it's time idle and according to top it uses `0.0%` of my CPU and `0.1%` of my ram.

Usage
2021-01-28 15:45:01 +01:00
-----
There are three flags:
2021-01-28 16:09:09 +01:00
mpdart -d musicdir -h host -p port -t timeout # timeout is milliseconds
2021-01-28 15:45:01 +01:00
Though only -d is needed:
mpdart -d ~/music
2021-01-28 16:09:09 +01:00
These options can also be configured in the enviorment variables `MPDART_DIR` , `MPDART_HOST` , `MPDART_PORT` , and `MPDART_TIMEOUT` .
To make these changes persistent, add them to your `~/.profile` .

Once mpdart is running you can press the window to toggle mpd's pause/play.
