Configuration

Before starting Mopidy, you must add configuration for Mopidy-Notify to your Mopidy configuration file:

[notify]
enabled = true

The following configuration values are available:

notify/max_icon_size:

Maximum icon dimensions (width/heigh) in pixels for which track images/album covers are fetched. For some tracks, images in multiple dimensions are available. Mopidy-Notify will try to use the largest image possible for a notification. Since some backends provide huge track images (as large as 3000x3000 pixels for Bandcamp MP3s), use this value to restrict which images are considered for display. If no track images are smaller than max_icon_size, the smallest image available will be used.

notify/fallback_icon:

File path to an icon or the name of a default icon used as fallback if no track image/album cover is available for the currently playing track.

notify/track_summary:

A template string used to build a notification summary. See below for values substituted.

notify/track_message:

Same as track_summary, but supplies the more detailed message content of a notification.

The following values are set by default:

[notify]
enabled = true
max_icon_size = 200
fallback_icon = notification-audio-play
track_summary = ${track}
track_message = ${artists} — ${album}
