MusicPlayerDaemon Query

Adding traybar icons to control mpd. To make this work with dwm install the sytray patch. Tested with i3, dwm and Cinnamon!

Use the buttons to:

• Move to the previous song
• Move to the next song
• Play/Pause mpd
• Scroll up/down to increase/decrease the volume

There are configurable hotkeys for these actions

You can either build it yourself or get the binaries

Building

$ git clone https://github.com/univrsal/mpdq.git
$ cd ./mpdq
$ make

You might need to adjust the Makefile and config.mk to make sure that the compiler finds xlib and libmpdclient

Usage

chmod a+x ./mpdq
./mpdq

Requires mpd to be running and a playlist to be present.

Currently the config file allows you to change the following things

• Scaling of the tray icons
• Color of the tray icons
• Whether to display the current song in the dwm title bar (Title of the root window)
• Changing the update interval
• Whether to write the current song to a given file
• Change hotkeys
• Reverse traybar order for i3
