MPNotifier 1.1

Description

MPNotifier is a lightweight client for MPD displaying a popup notification each time a new song is played by the server. This kind of notification is usual for most of graphical MPD clients but if you prefer to use a text-mode client like ncmpc, you need to use a third-party tool like MPNotifier.

Prerequisite

The following python packages are needed:

• python-notify,

• python-mpd,

• python-gtk2.

Configuration

MPNotifier will load the file ~/.mpnrc, which a YAML file like this one:

daemon: False
once: False
debug: False
persist: True
timeout: 3
keys: True
icon: gnome-mime-audio
title: >-
  %t
body: >-
  <b>%b</b>
  <i>%a</i>

The fields have the same names than the long form of the command line arguments, see mpn -h for explanation.
