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 0.0%
of my CPU according to top.
Depends
C compiler
make
libX11
libmpdclient
libim2
pkg-config # optional build time dependency
Building
./configure.sh
make
make install # supports PREFIX and DESTDIR
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, export them in your
~/.profile
.
Once mpdart is running you can press the window to toggle mpd’s pause/play.
