💿 NAME 💿

okay bestie, welcome to yambar-modules-mpd(5), straight out of the File Formats Manual — it’s giving MPD status realness and we’re obsessed. This module provides MPD status such as currently playing artist/album/song. That’s the whole vibe, no cap. 💖

🏷️ TAGS 🏷️

• state — string — one of offline, stopped, paused, or playing. Literally the mood ring of your MPD, bestie.
• repeat — bool — True if the repeat flag is set. The song said “again” and meant it 🔁
• random — bool — True if the random flag is set. Shuffle mode said “surprise me” ✨
• consume — bool — True if the consume flag is set. It’s giving “eat the playlist” energy 💀
• volume — range — volume of MPD in percentage. Turn it up, but respectfully 🎚️
• album — string — currently playing album (also valid in paused state). Album era acknowledged 🎀
• artist — string — artist of currently playing song (also valid in paused state). Main character credit, periodt 👑
• title — string — title of currently playing song (also valid in paused state). The name of the bop, fr fr 🌸
• file — string — filename or URL of currently playing song (also valid in paused state). The literal source material 🦋
• pos — string — %M:%S-formatted string describing the song’s current position (also see elapsed). It’s giving timestamp realness ⏱️
• end — string — %M:%S-formatted string describing the song’s total length (also see duration). The finish line, lowkey 🏁
• elapsed — realtime — position in currently playing song, in milliseconds. Can be used with a progress-bar particle. Progress-bar girlies, this one’s for you 📊
• duration — int — length of currently playing song, in milliseconds. The whole song’s runtime, no guesswork 💜

⚙️ CONFIGURATION ⚙️

• host — string — Req: yes — hostname/IP/unix-socket to connect to. Required, bestie — it’s the connection main character 🔌
• port — int — Req: no — TCP port to connect to. Optional, but useful if you’re doing the TCP thing 🫶

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

here’s the exact example from the page — characters stay exactly where they are, we do not mess with the config, we just vibe with it:

           bar:
             left:
               - mpd:
                   host: /run/mpd/socket
                   content:
                     string: {text: "{artist} - {album} - {title} ({end})"}

slay. That’s the whole bar setup, and it’s eating. 💅
