This has some caveats, namely that +it may not be properly synchronized, only one instance of a client can read from +a given named pipe at a time, it will cost you some CPU time, and finally you'll +need to set it up manually to match your MPD configuration, e.g.: + +.... +settings = { + ... + spectrum_path = "~/.mpd/mpd.fifo" # "path" + spectrum_format = "44100:16:2" # "format" (samplerate:bits:channels) + spectrum_bars = 8 # beware of exponential complexity + ... +} +.... + +The sample rate should be greater than 40 kHz, the number of bits 8 or 16, +and the number of channels doesn't matter, as they're simply averaged together. + Files ----- *nncmpp* follows the XDG Base Directory Specification. |
