NAME

       mpDris2 - media player interface (MPRIS2) bridge for MPD

SYNOPSIS

       mpDris2 [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       mpDris2  is  an  implementation  of the MPRIS2 media player interface as a client for MPD,
       allowing MPRIS2 clients to control MPD and observe its track changes via a standard  D-Bus
       interface.

       It  can  also  respond  to  multimedia  keys if running under GNOME, and send track-change
       notifications if python-notify is installed.

       It is normally run automatically via D-Bus service activation. On  systems  following  the
       freedesktop.org  Desktop Application Autostart Specification, it will be run automatically
       on login.

CONFIGURATION

       mpDris2  is  normally  configured  via   the   file   XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/mpDris2/mpDris2.conf
       (typically    ~/.config/mpDris2/mpDris2.conf),    whose   contents   are   documented   in
       /usr/share/doc/mpdris2/README.  Settings in this configuration file can be  overridden  by
       command-line options and environment variables.

OPTIONS

              configuration file. The default is to use the path specified in  the  configuration
              file,  or  try  some  likely  directories  (XDG_MUSIC_DIR  from  the environment or
              XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/user-dirs.dirs, ~/Music, ~/music).
