#################################################### ## this is example configuration file, copy it to ## ## ~/.ncmpcpp/config and set up your preferences ## #################################################### # ##### directories ##### ## ## Directory for storing ncmpcpp related files. ## Changing it is useful if you want to store ## everything somewhere else and provide command ## line setting for alternative location to config ## file which defines that while launching ncmpcpp. ## # ncmpcpp_directory = "~/.ncmpcpp" # ## ## Directory for storing downloaded lyrics. ## It defaults to ~/.lyrics since other MPD clients ## (eg. ncmpc) also use that location. ## # lyrics_directory = "~/.lyrics" # ##### connection settings ##### # ## set it in order to make tag editor and renaming files work properly # mpd_host = "127.0.0.1" # mpd_port = "6600" # mpd_music_dir = "/home/greymon/Music" # mpd_connection_timeout = "5" # mpd_crossfade_time = "5" # mpd_communication_mode = "notifications" (polling/notifications) # ##### music visualizer ##### ## ## Note: In order to make music visualizer work you'll ## need to use mpd fifo output, whose format parameter ## has to be set to 44100:16:1. Example configuration: ## (it has to be put into mpd.conf) ## audio_output { type "fifo" name "My FIFO" path "/tmp/mpd.fifo" format "44100:16:1" } ## # ## ## If you set formatoin to 44100:16:2, make it 'yes'. ## visualizer_in_stereo = "no" # visualizer_fifo_path = "/tmp/mpd.fifo" # ## ## Note: Below parameter is needed for ncmpcpp ## to determine which output provides data for ## visualizer and thus allow syncing between ## visualization and sound as currently there ## are some problems with it. ## # visualizer_output_name = "fifo" # ## ## Note: Below parameter defines how often ncmpcpp ## has to "synchronize" visualizer and audio outputs. ## 30 seconds is optimal value, but if you experience ## synchronization problems, set it to lower value. ## Keep in mind that sane values start with >=10. ## # visualizer_sync_interval = "30" # ## ## Note: To enable spectrum frequency visualization ## you need to compile ncmpcpp with fftw3 support. ## # visualizer_type = "spectrum" (spectrum/wave) # #visualizer_look = "●│" visualizer_look = "●▉" ##### system encoding ##### ## ## ncmpcpp should detect your charset encoding ## but if it failed to do so, you can specify ## charset encoding you are using here. ## ## Note: You can see whether your ncmpcpp build ## supports charset detection by checking output ## of `ncmpcpp --version`. ## ## Note: Since MPD uses utf8 by default, setting ## this option makes sense only if your encoding[29~ ## is different. ## # #system_encoding = "" # ##### delays ##### # ## delay after playlist highlighting will be disabled (0 = don't disable) # playlist_disable_highlight_delay = "5" # ## defines how long various messages are supposed to be visible # message_delay_time = "3" # ##### song format ##### ## ## for song format you can use: ## ## %l - length ## %f - filename ## %D - directory ## %a - artist ## %A - album artist ## %t - title ## %b - album ## %y - year ## %n - track number (01/12 -> 01) ## %N - full track info (01/12 -> 01/12) ## %g - genre ## %c - composer ## %p - performer ## %d - disc ## %C - comment ## $R - begin right alignment ## ## you can also put them in { } and then it will be displayed ## only if all requested values are available and/or define alternate ## value with { }|{ } eg. {%a - %t}|{%f} ## ## Note: If you want to set limit on maximal length of a tag, just ## put the appropriate number between % and character that defines ## tag type, e.g. to make album take max. 20 terminal cells, use '%20b'. ## ## Note: Format that is similar to "%a - %t" (i.e. without any additional ## braces) is equal to "{%a - %t}", so if one of the tags is missing, ## you'll get nothing. ## ## text can also have different color than the main window has, ## eg. if you want length to be green, write $3%l$9 ## ## available values: ## ## - 0 - default window color (discards all other colors) ## - 1 - black ## - 2 - red ## - 3 - green ## - 4 - yellow ## - 5 - blue ## - 6 - magenta ## - 7 - cyan ## - 8 - white ## - 9 - end of current color ## ## Note: colors can be nested. ## # song_list_format = "{$5%a} {$3%t}|{$3%f} {$4($2%l$4)}$R {$6%b}" # song_status_format = "{$4%a's} {$5%t, on} {$b$1%b$/b}" # song_library_format = "{%n - }{%t}|{%f}" # tag_editor_album_format = "{%a} - {%b}" # ## ## Note: Below variables are used for sorting songs in browser. ## The sort mode determines how songs are sorted, and can be used ## in combination with a sort formation to specify a custom sorting format. ## Possible values for browser_sort_mode are "name", "mtime" and "format" ## browser_sort_mode = "name" # browser_sort_format = "{%a - }{%t}|{%f} {(%l)}" # ## ## Note: Below variables are for alternative version of user's interface. ## Their syntax supports all tags and colors listed above plus some extra ## markers used for text attributes. They are followed by character '$'. ## After that you can put: ## ## - b - bold text ## - u - underline text ## - r - reverse colors ## - a - use alternative character set ## ## If you don't want to use an attribute anymore, just put it again, but ## this time insert character '/' between '$' and attribute character, ## e.g. {$b%t$/b}|{$r%f$/r} will display bolded title tag or filename ## with reversed colors. ## # alternative_header_first_line_format = "{$b$1%t$9$/b}" # alternative_header_second_line_format ="$0{%a} $b$8-$9$/b {%b}$9" # ## ## Note: Below variables also supports ## text attributes listed above. ## # now_playing_prefix = "$b$8▉▉ " # now_playing_suffix = "" # #browser_playlist_prefix = "$2playlist$9 " # #selected_item_prefix = "$6" # #selected_item_suffix = "$9" # #modified_item_prefix = "$3> $9" # ## colors are not supported for below variable # #song_window_title_format = "{%a - }{%t}|{%f}" # ##### columns settings ##### ## ## syntax of song columns list format is "column column etc." ## ## - syntax for each column is: ## ## (width of column)[column's color]{displayed tag} ## ## Note: Width is by default in %, if you want a column to ## have fixed size, add 'f' after the value, e.g. (10)[white]{a} ## will be the column that take 10% of screen (so the real column's ## width will depend on actual screen size), whereas (10f)[white]{a} ## will take 10 terminal cells, no matter how wide the screen is. ## ## - color is optional (if you want the default one, type []) ## ## Note: You can give a column additional attributes by putting appropriate ## character after displayed tag character. Available attributes are: ## ## - r - column will be right aligned ## - E - if tag is empty, empty tag marker won't be displayed ## ## You can also: ## ## - give a column custom name by putting it after attributes, ## separated with character ':', e.g. {lr:Length} gives you ## right aligned column of lengths named "Length". ## ## - define sequence of tags, that have to be displayed in case ## predecessor is empty in a way similar to the one in classic ## song format, i.e. using '|' character, e.g. {a|c|p:Owner} ## creates column named "Owner" that tries to display artist ## tag and then composer and performer if previous ones are ## not available. ## # song_columns_list_format = "(10)[black]{l} (30)[blue]{a} (30)[green]{b} (30)[magenta]{t}" # ##### various settings ##### # ## ## Note: Custom command that will be executed each ## time song changes.
