## NAME

g15mpd - A simple frontend for the MPD Media Player Daemon, for use with g15daemon

## DESCRIPTION

This package provides a fontend for MPD Media Player Daemon, displaying information on the LCD in G15 keyboard/

## OPTIONS

g15mpd understands the following options:\

\-h     Show usage information.

\-q     Use volume control to scroll through the playlist.

\-v	Show program version.

## FEATURES

Features: - Artist/Title Info is displayed\
 \- Track time elapsed/total time is displayed, with a completion bar.\
 \- Random and Repeat modes are available.\
 \- Multimedia keys are usable when run from X.

## CAVEATS

\- Requires MPD to be running in the background.\
 \- In order for multimedia keys to function, the frontend must be run from X11, either in a console, or at X login.\
 \- Requires that X11 has been configured to understand the mediakeys, either via the g15daemon xmodmap file, or a similar keyboard being selected in X configuration.\
 \- Currently, playlist management is not available, so another mpd frontend will be required to create\
   one.
