DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the mpd-sima commands.

At start up default configuration is first overridden by user configuration in mpd_sima.cfg (see FILES) and finally command lines options are honored. For instance you can override default MPD host (localhost) in your configuration file or with -S my_mpd_server.local option. For default configuration see CONFIGURATION. See also environment variables special case for MPD host and port in ENVIRONMENT.

OPTIONS

The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes ('-'). A summary of options is included below.

Print help and exit.
Print version and exit.
Start as a daemon. Log redirected to /dev/null, usually setting --log and --pid options in daemon mode are a good idea to monitor/stop the process.
Use the specific file pid_file to store pid to.

Default is not to store pid info.

Use the specific file log_file to log messages to.

Default is to log to stdout/stderr.

Verbosity in [debug,info,warning,error].

Default is to log info messages.

Use the specific file conf_file to set up configuration instead of looking for the default user configuration file.

Default is to look for ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/mpd_sima/mpd_sima.cfg. CLI option overrides any equivalent mentioned in configuration file, ie. launching mpd-sima with --port CLI option will ignore port setting in configuration file.

For more details on configuration file see also FILES and CONFIGURATION sections.

Use the specific path var_directory to look for (or create) var files (ie. database) instead of looking at the default user data location.

Default is to look in ${XDG_DATA_HOME}/mpd_sima/. Concerning XDG_DATA_HOME see also FILES section.

Use the specific host mpd_host as MPD server.mpd_host can be an IP or a fully qualified domain name as long as your system can resolve it. This overrides MPD_HOST environment variable. Default is localhost.

See also ENVIRONMENT section.

Use the specific port number mpd_port on MPD server. This overrides MPD_PORT environment variable.Default is 6600.

See also ENVIRONMENT section

mpd-sima expects MPD_HOST syntax as documented in mpc manual, cf. mpc(1). To use a password, provide a value of the form password@host.

mpd-sima honors HTTP_PROXY environment variables.

CONFIGURATION

mpd_sima.cfg is read if present. Otherwise built-in defaults are used. An example should be provided in the tarball within doc/examples/. On Debian system please look in /usr/share/doc/mpd-sima.

DEFAULTS

Default is to look for MPD server at localhost:6600 (or MPD_HOST/MPD_PORT env. var. if set).

The default plugins will use Last.fm to find similar tracks to queue and fallback to random if nothing if found.

The get the defaults as detected by mpd-sima on your system you can run mpd-sima to print the config:

mpd-sima generate-config
