[Question] Is mpd's port hardcoded?

[Francesco Minnocci]

After installing, I get :

Traceback (most recent call last):

                                                                                                           File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/mpd/base.py", line 716, in _connect_tcp

                                                                                              File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/mpd/base.py", line 709, in _connect_tcp

                                                                                      ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 111] Connection refused

From this, it looks to me like it's trying to use the default mpd port, which is 6600. However, I have it configured on port 6602 instead; could you add this through a configuration option (or ask mpd for it, not sure if that's possible)?

[Francesco Minnocci]

I could probably make a PR for this, but it's such a small change, and I'm sure you can find a smarter way to implement this than I would.

Also, I made an AUR package for miniplayer here, if you would like to add it as an installation method to the README.

Thanks in advance!

This is correctly assumed and an oversight on my part. I just pushed a new version which allows you to configure both the mpd host and port.

Thank you for putting up the AUR package! I have added it to my description.
