mpdart
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
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 only uses `0.1%` of my RAM and `0.1%` of my CPU according to top.

Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
There are four flags:
|
|
|
|
mpdart -d musicdir -h host -p port -t timeout # timeout is milliseconds
|
|
|
|
Though all but -d have default values:
|
|
|
|
mpdart -d ~/music
|
|
|
|
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.
