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.
