Display MPD status on a lcdproc server.
Project description
MPDLcd is a small adapter which will display the status of a MPD server on a LCD screen, through lcdproc.
It allows defining various layouts depending on LCD size, with fix or moving parts.
Running
The command line is quite simple:
# Connect to the local mpd and lcdproc, logging to stderr mpdlcd
Other options are possible:
mpdlcd --mpd=mpd.example.org:1234 --lcdproc=lcd.example.org:456 \
--syslog --syslog-facility=user2 --loglevel=debug --lcdd_debug
Please use mpdlcd --help or man mpdlcd for a full help description.
