Music Player Daemon 0.14.1 (Default branch)

Music Player Daemon (MPD) is a server that allows remote access for playing music in various formats and managing playlists. It makes a great desktop player with frontend options (Qt, GTK, ncurses, Windows, and Web clients are available). It is also appropriate as a console player that is scriptable, and is especially useful if X is restarted frequently. A set of rapid development tools for clients are being developed and include a C library, Python module, PHP class, Perl module, and Java Class. The goals are to be easy to install and use, to have minimal resource requirements, to be stable and flexible, and easy to interface. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
This release features fixes jack instability, many streaming issues, the Solaris build, and cross fading audio defects. Software volume and non-distribution building were improved. This releases adds writer/composer tag support and disables oggvorbis seeking on remote files, which fixes slow ogg file streaming playback.

NAME

       g15mpd - A simple frontend for the MPD Media Player Daemon, for use with g15daemon

DESCRIPTION

       This package provides a fontend for MPD Media Player Daemon, displaying information on the LCD in G15 keyboard/

OPTIONS

       g15mpd understands the following options:

       -h     Show usage information.

       -q     Use volume control to scroll through the playlist.

       -v   Show program version.

FEATURES

       Features: - Artist/Title Info is displayed
       - Track time elapsed/total time is displayed, with a completion bar.
       - Random and Repeat modes are available.
       - Multimedia keys are usable when run from X.

CAVEATS

       - Requires MPD to be running in the background.
       - In order for multimedia keys to function, the frontend must be run from X11, either in a console, or at X login.
       -  Requires  that  X11  has been configured to understand the mediakeys, either via the g15daemon xmodmap file, or a similar keyboard being
       selected in X configuration.
       - Currently, playlist management is not available, so another mpd frontend will be required to create
	 one.
