Previous implementation only worked if MPD was accessed with a password. This commit fixes no-password access of MPD. Backported from `devel` branch. |

mpd info screen
A Rust program that displays info about the currently running MPD server.
The window shows albumart (may be embedded in the audio file, or is a "cover.jpg" in the same directory as the song file), a "time-remaining" counter, and the filename currently being played
Known Bugs ❗❗
Currently, the dependency "ggez 0.8.1" fails to render album art on my machines using this program. Version 0.4.1 cannot be published to https://crates.io due to this version referring to a git commit as a dependency. Once ggez has released a new version with the commit that fixes this bug, this repository will be updated to use that version.
The devel branch has a fix for mpd_info_screen not displaying properly when
no password is provided and MPD can be accessed without a password.
Unicode Support
By default, unicode characters will not display properly. Build the project with
the unicode_support feature enabled to enable fetching fonts from the local
filesystem to display unicode characters properly (if the system is missing a
font, then it will still be displayed incorrectly). Note that your system must
have fontconfig and freetype installed (most Linux systems should have these
installed already).
cargo build --release --features unicode_support
or through crates.io:
cargo install --features unicode_support mpd_info_screen
Usage
mpd_info_screen 0.3.7
USAGE:
mpd_info_screen [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] <host> [port]
FLAGS:
--disable-show-album disable album display
--disable-show-artist disable artist display
--disable-show-filename disable filename display
--disable-show-title disable title display
--no-scale-fill don't scale-fill the album art to the window
--pprompt input password via prompt
-h, --help Prints help information
-V, --version Prints version information
OPTIONS:
-l, --log-level <log-level> [default: Error] [possible values: Error, Warning, Debug, Verbose]
-p <password>
-t, --text-bg-opacity <text-bg-opacity> sets the opacity of the text background (0-255) [default: 190]
ARGS:
<host>
<port> [default: 6600]
Note that presing the Escape key when the window is focused closes the program.
Also note that pressing the H key while displaying text will hide the text.
Issues / TODO
- UTF-8 Non-ascii font support (Use the
unicode_supportfeature to enable; only tested in linux) - Support for album art not embedded but in the same directory
MPD Version
To get album art from the image embedded with the audio file, the "readpicture" protocol command is queried from MPD, which was added in version 0.22 of MPD. It is uncertain when the "albumart" protocol command was added (this command fetches album art that resides in cover.jpg/cover.png in the same directory as the audio file). This means that older versions of MPD may not return album art to display.
