Control mpd with the OS X media keys.
To install osxmpdkeys with pip, use:
$ pip install osxmpdkeys
In the simplest case, just run mpdkeys
. The default mpd host address is localhost:6600
.
usage: mpdkeys [-h] [--host HOST] [--port PORT]
optional arguments:
--host HOST mpd host address
--port PORT mpd host port
If you want to have mpdkeys start automatically upon login, you can create a LaunchAgent like so:
$ cat <<EOF> ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.github.pushrax.osxmpdkeys.plist
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>com.github.pushrax.osxmpdkeys</string>
<key>Program</key>
<string>/usr/local/bin/mpdkeys</string>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
<key>KeepAlive</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
EOF
Next time you log in, launchd will pick up the configuration automatically.
