nncmpp - terminal-based MPD client

Synopsis

nncmpp [OPTION]…​

Description

nncmpp is a terminal-based GUI-like MPD client. On start up it will welcome you with an overview of all key bindings and the actions theyre assigned to. Individual tabs can be switched to either using the mouse or by pressing M-1 through M-9, corresponding to the order they appear in.

Options

-d, --debug

Adds a "Debug" tab showing all MPD communication and other information that help debug various issues.

-h, --help

Display a help message and exit.

-V, --version

Output version information and exit.

Configuration

Unless you run MPD on a remote machine, on an unusual port, or protected by a password, the client doesnt need a configuration file to work. It is, however, likely that youll want to customize the looks or add some streams. You can start off with the following snippet:

settings = {
	address    = "localhost:6600"
	password   = "<your password>"
	root       = "~/Music"
}
colors = {
	normal      = ""
	highlight   = "bold"
	elapsed     = "reverse"
	remains     = "ul"
	tab_bar     = "reverse"
	tab_active  = "ul"
	even        = ""
	odd         = ""
	selection   = "reverse"
	multiselect = "-1 6"
	scrollbar   = ""
}
streams = {
	"dnbradio.com" = "http://www.dnbradio.com/hi.m3u"
	"BassDrive.com" = "http://bassdrive.com/v2/streams/BassDrive.pls"
}

Terminal attributes are accepted in a format similar to that of git-config(1), only named colours arent supported. The distribution contains example colour schemes in the contrib directory.
