rofi-mpc

Stripped down version of Marco98/rofi-mpc package to list and play playlist entries from multiple MPD sources. Fast graphical Rofi-Interface for quick switching between audio sources. Removed unneeded functionality to jump straight to the playlist selection.

Features

Current list of features:

  • List and Play playlist entries
  • Source Selection:
    • Playlist generation for the ~/Music directory
    • List and Load playlists from mpd's playlist_directory

Installation

Requirements

  • python
  • mpd
  • rofi

Recommended Configuration of mpd

Recommended config path:

mkdir -p ~/.config/mpd/playlists

Recommended ~/.config/mpd/mpd.conf:

db_file				"~/.config/mpd/database"
log_file			"~/.config/mpd/log"
restore_paused			"yes"
music_directory			"~/Music"
playlist_directory		"~/.config/mpd/playlists"
pid_file			"~/.config/mpd/pid"
state_file			"~/.config/mpd/state"
sticker_file			"~/.config/mpd/sticker.sql"

Start mpd on boot or at xinit like this:

mpd ~/.config/mpd/mpd.conf

Deployment

sudo wget -O /usr/local/bin/rofi-mpc  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sbucek/rofi-mpc/master/rofi-mpc
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/rofi-mpc

Then you just need to set a keybind for rofi-mpc For example, if you're using i3wm you just need to add this line in you config:

bindsym $mod+a exec rofi-mpc

Adding Streams

If you're using my recommended mpd.conf you just need to add it into the playlists-directory like this:

echo "http://example.com/stream.mp3" > ~/.config/mpd/playlists/[STREAM-NAME].m3u
