  Installation

  Requirements

• python
• mpd
• rofi

  Recommended Configuration of mpd

  Recommended config path:

  mkdir -p ~/.config/mpd/playlists

  Recommended ~/.config/mpd/mpd.conf:

  db_file             "~/.config/mpd/database"
  log_file            "~/.config/mpd/log"
  restore_paused          "yes"
  music_directory         "~/Music"
  playlist_directory      "~/.config/mpd/playlists"
  pid_file            "~/.config/mpd/pid"
  state_file          "~/.config/mpd/state"
  sticker_file            "~/.config/mpd/sticker.sql"

  Start mpd on boot or at xinit like this:

  mpd ~/.config/mpd/mpd.conf

  Deployment

  sudo wget -O /usr/local/bin/rofi-mpc  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Marco98/rofi-mpc/master/rofi-mpc
  sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/rofi-mpc

  Then you just need to set a keybind for rofi-mpc For example, if you're using i3wm you just need to add this line in you config:

  bindsym $mod+a exec rofi-mpc

  Adding Streams

  If you're using my recommended mpd.conf you just need to add it into the playlists-directory like this:

  echo "http://example.com/stream.mp3" > ~/.config/mpd/playlists/[STREAM-NAME].m3u
