mpdscribble(1) User Manuals mpdscribble(1) NAME mpdscribble - A Music Player Daemon (MPD) client which submits information about tracks being played to a scrobbler (e.g. last.fm). SYNOPSIS mpdscribble [options] DESCRIPTION mpdscribble is a client for MPD, the Music Player Daemon. mpdscribble con- nects to an MPD running on the local network and works in parallel with other MPD clients on the network. By default it will get the hostname and port for mpd from the MPD_HOST and MPD_PORT environment variables. mpdscribble will use localhost:6600 if those are not set. The hostname and port can also be specified in the con- figuration file or on the command line. $ mpdscribble --host myhost --port=12345 Values specified on the command line override values from the configuration file or environment variables. If you want to use mpdscribble with a password-protected MPD, set the envi- ronment variable MPD_HOST to password@host, or specify the host in the con- figuration file similarly. OPTIONS --help Display help and exit. --version Display version information and exit. --no-daemon Don't daemonize mpdscribble, run it in foreground. --pidfile FILE Write the process id to this file. --daemon-user USERNAME Change to this system user after daemonization. --log FILE Specify log file. The special value "syslog" makes mpdscribble use the local syslog daemon (which is the default). "-" means log to stderr. --conf FILE Read configuration options from file. /etc/mpdscribble.conf is used by default (if --sysconfdir=/etc). --host [PASSWORD@]HOSTNAME Specify host protected by password. To connect via Unix Domain Socket, specify an absolute path here. --port PORT Specify which port the MPD listens on. --proxy URL HTTP proxy URL. --verbose LEVEL Specify how verbosely mpdscribble should log. Possible values are 0 to 3, defaulting to 1. CONFIGURATION mpdscribble looks for its configuration file first at ~/.mpdscrib- ble/mpdscribble.conf and then at /etc/mpdscribble.conf (if --sysconfdir=/etc) but this can be overridden by specifying an alternate configuration file using the command line option --conf. Supported configuration options: pidfile = FILE Write the process id to this file. log = FILE The file to which mpdscribble should output debugging information. The special value "syslog" makes mpdscribble use the local syslog daemon (which is the default). "-" means log to stderr. host = [PASSWORD@]HOSTNAME The host running MPD, possibly protected by a password. To connect via Unix Domain Socket, specify an absolute path here. port = PORT The port that the MPD listens on and mpdscribble should try to con- nect to. proxy = URL HTTP proxy URL. verbose = 0, 1, 2, 3 How verbose mpdscribble's logging should be. Default is 1. "0" means log only critical errors (e.g. "out of memory"); "1" also logs non-critical errors (e.g. "server unreachable"); "2" logs informa- tional messages (e.g. "new song"); "3" prints a lot of debugging messages. SCROBBLERS These options are followed by at least one scrobbler section (choose a unique section name like "libre.fm" which only appears in the log file; the name "mpdscribble" is reserved). file = PATH Log to a file instead of submitting the songs to an AudioScrobbler server. url = URL The handshake URL of the scrobbler. Example: "http://post.audio- scrobbler.com/", "http://turtle.libre.fm/" username = USERNAME Your audioscrobbler username. password = MD5SUM Your Last.fm password, either cleartext or its MD5 sum. journal = FILE The file where mpdscribble should store its journal in case you do not have a connection to the scrobbler. This option used to be called "cache". It is optional. FILES /etc/mpdscribble.conf The system wide configuration file. ~/.mpdscribble/mpdscribble.conf Per user configuration file. /var/cache/mpdscribble/mpdscribble.cache The system wide Last.fm cache file. ~/.mpdscribble/mpdscribble.cache Per user Last.fm cache file. /var/log/mpdscribble/mpdscribble.log The system wide log file. ~/.mpdscribble/mpdscribble.log Per user log file. BUGS File permissions on cache/log file may be insecure by default.
