2.3.3.1 mppopm Configuration ¶

The mppopm CLI needs to know where to find the MPD daemon, as well as the names of the mpdpopm commands channel & sticker names. These configuration items all have default values. They may also be specified on the command line, a configuration file, or an environment variable. The order of presendence is:

1. command-line arguments
2. the configuration file
3. environment

The configuration file defaults to ~/.mppopm, but may be specified on the command line. Like that of mppopmd, it is a LISP S-expression, where each item is a cons cell.

The mppopm configuration items:

• host: The host on which MPD is listening; defaults to “localhost”, command-line option -H, environment variable MPD_HOST
• port: The port at which MPD is listening; defaults to 6600, command-line option -p, environment variable MPD_PORT
• commands_chan: The commands channel to which your mppopmd daemon is subscribed (i.e. should match the commands_chan setting in your daemon’s configuration); defaults to “unwoundstack.com:commands”. No command-line option or environment variable.
• playcount_sticker: The sticker name being used by your mppopmd daemon to store playcounts (i.e. should match the daemon’s configuration item of the same name); defaults to “unwoundstack.com:playcount”. No command-line option or environment variable.
• lastplayed_sticker: The sticker name being used by your mppopmd daemon to store last-played timestamps (i.e. should match the daemon’s configuration item of the same name); defaults to “unwoundstack.com:lastplayed”. No command-line option or environment variable.
• rating_sticker: The sticker name being used by your mppopmd daemon to store ratings (i.e. should match the daemon’s configuration item of the same name); defaults to “unwoundstack.com:rating. No command-line option or environment variable.
