MPC

This is a simple client plugin for Music Player Daemon. To build it, libmpd headers and library are used if found, but it’ll use a lighter internal socket interface if you don’t have libmpd.

Features :

• send Play/Stop/Next/Previous command to MPD.
• uses gtk-theme media icons (at least nuvola, tango and rodent themes provides these icons)
• decrease/increase volume using the mouse wheel.
• show the current volume, status and title as a tooltip when passing the mouse over the plugin.
• show a simple playlist window upon middle-click, permitting to select a track to play
• configurable MPD host/port/password.
• toggles repeat/random features in the right-click menu.
• launch configurable client (gmpc, xterm -e ncmpc,..) through right-click menu
• configurable markup for tooltip and playlist, using a gmpc-like markup :
  • playlist accepts %artist%, %title%, %album% and %track%
  • tooltip accepts the same plus %vol%, %status% and %newline%

Add the plugin to the panel, and configure MPD connection settings.
