NAME¶
mptoggle - single button control for mpd
SYNOPSIS¶
mptoggle [host] [playlist ...]
DESCRIPTION¶
mptoggle allows mpd to be controlled by a single physical button. It was
designed for a linksys nslu2 running mpd, for which the only available
physical control is a power button that can be remapped to run an arbitrary
program.
mptoggle toggles playback each time it's run. So press the button once to
start, and a second time to stop. Each time it starts playing. By default it
selects a new different playlist, at random, to play. If playlist names are
specified at the command line, it will choose between those at random.
Example of how to make the nslu2's power button run mptoggle, in /etc/inittab:
ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/usr/bin/mptoggle localhost
