Installation

Probably needs Go v1.9 or newer.

go install github.com/natsukagami/mpd-mpris/cmd/mpd-mpris

For Arch Linux users.

Check out the AUR packages mpd-mpris and mpd-mpris-bin for the manually and pre-built versions respectively. A systemd user service file is also provided (enable with systemctl --user enable mpd-mpris --now).

For Nix users

The repository provides the mpd-mpris package, overlay and a NixOS/home-manager module (services.mpd-mpris) as a flake.

# nix flake show github:natsukagami/mpd-mpris

The mpd-mpris module has the following options:

  • services.mpd-mpris.enable: Enable the service.
  • services.mpd-mpris.package: Overrides the package. Defaults to pkgs.mpd-mpris (which uses the nixpkgs package without the overlay).
  • services.mpd-mpris.enableDefaultInstance: The module has a default instance that listens to the local mpd, enable this.

Per-instance configurations:

  • services.mpd-mpris.instances.{name}.host: The host to connect to. (-host flag)
  • services.mpd-mpris.instances.{name}.network: The network type. (-network flag)
  • services.mpd-mpris.instances.{name}.port: The port to connect to. (-port flag)
  • services.mpd-mpris.instances.{name}.passwordFile: The file containing the password to use. (-pwd-file flag)

Each instance will create a mpd-mpris-{name} service (with the default being mpd-mpris), with the MPRIS instance name org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.mpd.{name} (with the default being just org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.mpd). All per-instance configurations are available without the instances.{name} infix, and will apply to the default instance.

Running

# mpd-mpris --help
Usage of mpd-mpris:
  -host string
        The MPD host (default localhost)
  -instance-name string
        Set the MPRIS's interface as 'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.mpd.{instance-name}'
  -network string
        The network used to dial to the mpd server. Check https://golang.org/pkg/net/#Dial for available values (most common are "tcp" and "unix") (default "tcp")
  -no-instance
        Set the MPRIS's interface as 'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.mpd' instead of 'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.mpd.instance#'
  -port int
        The MPD port. Only works if network is "tcp". If you use anything else, you should put the port inside addr yourself. (default 6600)
  -pwd string
        The MPD connection password. Leave empty for none.
  -pwd-file string
        Path to the file containing the mpd server password.

Will block for requests and log them down so you may want to run and forget.
