It ## defaults to ~/.lyrics since other MPD clients ## (eg. ncmpc) also use that location. ## # #lyrics_directory = ~/.lyrics # ##### connection settings ##### # mpd_host = localhost mpd_port = 6600 mpd_connection_timeout = 5 ## Needed for tag editor and file operations to work. ## mpd_music_dir = "~/music" #mpd_music_dir = "Y:\\stor\\music" mpd_crossfade_time = 5 # ##### music visualizer ##### ## ## Note: In order to make music visualizer work you'll ## need to use mpd fifo output, whose format parameter ## has to be set to 44100:16:1 for mono visualization ## or 44100:16:2 for stereo visualization. Example ## configuration (it has to be put into mpd.conf): ## audio_output { type "fifo" name "Visualizer feed" path "/tmp/mpd.fifo" format "44100:16:2" } ## # visualizer_fifo_path = "/tmp/mpd.fifo" # ## ## Note: Below parameter is needed for ncmpcpp ## to determine which output provides data for ## visualizer and thus allow syncing between ## visualization and sound as currently there ## are some problems with it. ## # visualizer_output_name = "FIFO" # ## ## If you set format to 44100:16:2, make it 'yes'. ## visualizer_in_stereo = yes # ## ## Multiply received samples by given value. Very ## useful for proper visualization of quiet music. ## #visualizer_sample_multipler = 1 # ## ## Note: Below parameter defines how often ncmpcpp ## has to "synchronize" visualizer and audio outputs. ## 30 seconds is optimal value, but if you experience ## synchronization problems, set it to lower value. ## Keep in mind that sane values start with >=10. ## # visualizer_sync_interval = 30 # ## ## Note: To enable spectrum frequency visualization ## you need to compile ncmpcpp with fftw3 support. ## # ## Available values: spectrum, wave. ## visualizer_type = "spectrum" # visualizer_look = "●▮" # ##### system encoding ##### ## ## ncmpcpp should detect your charset encoding ## but if it failed to do so, you can specify ## charset encoding you are using here. ## ## Note: You can see whether your ncmpcpp build ## supports charset detection by checking output ## of `ncmpcpp --version`. ## ## Note: Since MPD uses UTF-8 by default, setting ## this option makes sense only if your encoding ## is different. ## # #system_encoding = "" # ##### delays ##### # ## Time of inactivity (in seconds) after playlist ## highlighting will be disabled (0 = always on). ## playlist_disable_highlight_delay = 3 # ## Defines how long messages are supposed to be visible. ## message_delay_time = 3 # ##### song format ##### ## ## for song format you can use: ## ## %l - length ## %f - filename ## %D - directory ## %a - artist ## %A - album artist ## %t - title ## %b - album ## %y - date ## %n - track number (01/12 -> 01) ## %N - full track info (01/12 -> 01/12) ## %g - genre ## %c - composer ## %p - performer ## %d - disc ## %C - comment ## %P - priority ## $R - begin right alignment ## ## you can also put them in { } and then it will be displayed ## only if all requested values are available and/or define alternate ## value with { }|{ } eg. {%a - %t}|{%f} ## ## Note: If you want to set limit on maximal length of a tag, just ## put the appropriate number between % and character that defines ## tag type, e.g. to make album take max. 20 terminal cells, use '%20b'. ## ## Note: Format that is similar to "%a - %t" (i.e. without any additional ## braces) is equal to "{%a - %t}", so if one of the tags is missing, ## you'll get nothing. ## ## text can also have different color than the main window has, ## eg. if you want length to be green, write "$3%l$9". ## ## Available values: ## ## - 0 - default window color (discards all other colors) ## - 1 - black ## - 2 - red ## - 3 - green ## - 4 - yellow ## - 5 - blue ## - 6 - magenta ## - 7 - cyan ## - 8 - white ## - 9 - end of current color ## ## Note: colors can be nested. ## # #song_list_format = {%a - }{%t}|{$8%f$9}$R{$3(%l)$9} #song_list_format = "$9{$8%a $1►$3 %t}|{$8%a $1►$8 }|{$8 $1►$3 %t}|{$1►$8 %f} $9 $R{$1%l}" song_list_format = "{$1►$3 %t}|{$1►$8 }|{$1►$8 %f} $1$R{$8 %a}|{$8 } {$1◀ %l}" #(Kori list below) #song_list_format = "$2%t$7 $1by$6 %a$1 on %b$9" # #song_status_format = {{%a{ "%b"{ (%y)}} - }{%t}}|{%f} song_status_format = {$8%t}{$8 "%b"}|{$8 "%a"}$8 # #song_library_format = {%n - }{%t}|{%f} # #tag_editor_album_format = {(%y) }%b # ## ## Note: Below variables are used for sorting songs in browser. ## The sort mode determines how songs are sorted, and can be used ## in combination with a sort format to specify a custom sorting format. ## Available values for browser_sort_mode are "name", "mtime", "format" ## and "noop". ## # #browser_sort_mode = name # #browser_sort_format = {%a - }{%t}|{%f} {(%l)} # ## ## Note: Below variables are for alternative version of user's interface. ## Their syntax supports all tags and colors listed above plus some extra ## markers used for text attributes.

Available attributes are: ## ## - r - column will be right aligned ## - E - if tag is empty, empty tag marker won't be displayed ## ## You can also: ## ## - give a column custom name by putting it after attributes, ## separated with character ':', e.g. {lr:Length} gives you ## right aligned column of lengths named "Length". ## ## - define sequence of tags, that have to be displayed in case ## predecessor is empty in a way similar to the one in classic ## song format, i.e. using '|' character, e.g. {a|c|p:Owner} ## creates column named "Owner" that tries to display artist ## tag and then composer and performer if previous ones are ## not available. ## # #song_columns_list_format = (20)[]{a} (6f)[green]{NE} (50)[white]{t|f:Title} (20)[cyan]{b} (7f)[magenta]{l} # ##### various settings ##### # ## ## Note: Custom command that will be executed each ## time song changes.
