mptoggle(1)
NAME
mptoggle - single button control for mpd
SYNOPSIS
mptoggle [host] [playlist ...]
DESCRIPTION
mptoggle allows mpd to be controlled by a single physical button. It
was designed for a linksys nslu2 running mpd, for which the only available physical control is a power button that can be remapped to run an
arbitrary program.
mptoggle toggles playback each time it's run. So press the button once
to start, and a second time to stop. Each time it starts playing. By
default it selects a new different playlist, at random, to play. If
playlist names are specified at the command line, it will choose
between those at random.
- Example of how to make the nslu2's power button run mptoggle, in
/etc/inittab: - ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/usr/bin/mptoggle localhost
