nncmpp(1)
=========
:doctype: manpage
:manmanual: nncmpp Manual
:mansource: nncmpp {release-version}
Name
----
nncmpp - terminal-based MPD client
Synopsis
--------
*nncmpp* [_OPTION_]... [_URL_ | _PATH_]...
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 they're 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.
As a convenience utility, any program arguments are added to the MPD queue.
Note that to add files outside the database, you need to connect to MPD using
a socket file.
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 doesn't need a configuration file to work. It is,
however, likely that you'll 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"
defocused = "ul"
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 aren't supported. The distribution contains example colour
schemes in the _contrib_ directory.
// TODO: it seems like liberty should contain an includable snippet about
// the format, which could form a part of nncmpp.conf(5).
Spectrum visualiser
-------------------
When built against the FFTW library, *nncmpp* can make use of MPD's "fifo"
output plugin to show the audio spectrum. 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.
_~/.config/nncmpp/nncmpp.conf_::
The configuration file.
