💖 GMPC — Gnome Music Player Client 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about GMPC, aka the Gnome Music Player Client, straight out of the Gnome Music Player Client manual. this thing is a whole vibe and it's about to be your new fave, no cap. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

GMPC [OPTION]

like, that's it. you give it an option, it does the thing. simple as. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea: GMPC is a fully featured but still very lightweight gtk client for the music player daemon (MPD). fully featured AND lightweight?? it's giving main character energy, honestly. 🦋

it gives you several different ways to browse your music, based on:

• the file system
• tags
• search
• metadata

and the metadata it can show you?? bestie. prepare yourself. 💜

GMPC can show the following types of metadata:

• Album covers
• Artist images
• Lyrics
• Guitar tabs
• Album information
• Artist biography
• Similar artist
• Similar songs

and the way it pulls this off is plugins — GMPC uses plugins to fetch metadata, and it can be extended using plugins. so if you want more, you can literally just add more. iconic behaviour. 👑

🫶 OPTIONS 🫶

one bullet per option, all facts intact, let's gooo:

• --fullscreen — Start fullscreen. yes, full screen, all of it, immersive queen behaviour. ✨
• --start-hidden — Start hidden. sneaky little entrance, we love a quiet launch. 🙈
• --quit — Quit the running GMPC instance. bye bestie, shutting the whole thing down. 💀
• --profile=<profile> — Start with a specific profile. you pick which <profile>, it uses that one. 🎀
• --help — Show this help message. the classic "help me help you". 💅
• --debug-level=<level> — Make GMPC output debug information. and the levels are:
  • 0 — No output
  • 1 — Error Messages
  • 2 — Error and Warning Messages
  • 3 — All Messages
• --log-filter=<LogDomain> — Print out debug information from a certain log domain. Example domains: Config, MetaImage, MpdData.Model, MpdData.Model.Playlist, MpdData.TreeView, Profiles, Gmpc, Playlist, Plugin, Preferences, TrayIcon. so yeah, you can hyper-focus on ONE domain's logs like the dedicated detective you are. 🔍
• --version — Display version and if possible git revision. receipts, always. 🌈
• --config=<file> — Use config file <file>. your config, your rules. ⭐
• --clean-cover-db — Cleans up the cover db. sparkle sparkle, out with the old cover junk. 🧚
• --disable-plugins — Don't load any plugins. going minimal, going raw, going bare-bones. 💜
• --bug-information — Show a dialog with useful information for a bug report. if something's cursed, this hands you the receipts to send in. 😭
• --icon-theme — Change the icon theme used by GMPC. (Used for testing) so yeah, it's a testing thing, not a fashion thing. still cute though. 💅
