[Feature Request] Allow use of UNIX socket #75

Closed gearhead closed 2 years ago

gearhead commented 2 years ago

Port cannot be set to a unix socket. Only works with a TCP port. It would be nice if '--port=/run/mpd/socket' would be accepted. Currently, it only accepts port numbers and not sockets.

# mpc --port=6600 status

# mpc --port=/run/mpd/socket status
Port "/run/mpd/socket" is not a positive integer
# ls -al /run/mpd/

mpc --host=/run/mpd/socket It's documented on the manpage.
