NAME¶
mpfade - fade mpd volume in or out
SYNOPSIS¶
mpfade [minutes] [max|min] [host]
DESCRIPTION¶
mpfade behaves differently depending on whether mpd is playing or not.
If mpd is not playing (or is paused), it starts it playing at a low volume, and
gradually cranks the volume up to the specified
max value (default 50)
over the specified number of minutes (default 10).
If mpd is already playing, it works in reverse, reducing the volume over time
until it's a the specified
min (defaults to a tenth of what it was at
the start). Then it stops playing.
mpfade tries to interact well with manual volume changes you make. If the
volume is fading up, and you change the volume manually, it stops. This is
intended to be useful when used as an alarm clock. If the volume is fading
down, changes you make to the volume will be noticed, and the fade down will
continue from that point.
The
minutes value can be a floating point value. If the hostname is
omitted, the MPD_HOST environment variable will be used.
