README for mpdevil ================== mpdevil is focused on playing your local music directly instead of managing playlists or playing network streams. So it neither supports saving playlists nor restoring them. Therefore mpdevil is mainly a music browser which aims to be easy to use. mpdevil dosen't store any client side database of your music library. Instead all tags and covers get presented to you in real time. So you'll never see any outdated information in your browser. mpdevil strongly relies on tags. ![ScreenShot](screenshots/mainwindow_0.9.0.png) Features -------- - play songs without doubleclicking - search songs in your music library - manage multiple mpd servers - filter by genre - control with media keys - displays covers - sends notifications on title change - fetches lyrics from the web (based on PyLyrics) - MPRIS interface (based on mpDris2) See: https://github.com/SoongNoonien/mpdevil/wiki/Usage Package Installation -------------------- See: https://github.com/SoongNoonien/mpdevil/releases/latest Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, Raspberry Pi OS: - Download the .deb file - Open a console - Navigate into download dir - Run: `sudo apt install ./mpdevil_VERSION.deb` Arch, Manjaro (see: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mpdevil/): - Download the PKGBUILD from the AUR - Open a console - Navigate into download dir - Run: `makepkg -sirc` - Alternatively install it with an AUR helper Gentoo (see: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Custom_repository): - Download the .ebuild - Place it into your local tree - Generate manifest file - Run: `emerge mpdevil` Building -------- Build dependencies: - DistUtilsExtra Dependencies: - Gtk3 - Python3 Python modules: - mpd (python-mpd2) - gi (Gtk, Gio, Gdk, GdkPixbuf, Pango, GObject, GLib, Notify) - requests - bs4 (beautifulsoup) - dbus Run: ```bash git clone https://github.com/SoongNoonien/mpdevil.git cd mpdevil sudo python3 setup.py install sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas sudo gtk-update-icon-cache sudo update-desktop-database ``` Translation ----------- mpdevil is currently available in English and German.
