####################################################
## 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 = "localhost"
#
mpd_port = "6600"
#
mpd_music_dir = "/run/media/greymon/The Looking Glass/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 "44100:16:2"
 }
##
#
##
## If you set formatoin to 44100:16:2, make it 'yes'.
##
visualizer_in_stereo = "yes"
#
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} $2»$8»$5» {$8%t}|{$8%f}$R{$2%b}"
#
song_status_format = "{$8%a} $2»$8»$5» $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}$9"
#
##
## Note: Below variables also supports
## text attributes listed above.
##
#
now_playing_prefix = "$u$2"
#
now_playing_suffix = "$2$/u$2"
#
#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. Useful for notifications etc.
##
## Attention: It doesn't support song format anymore.
## Use `ncmpcpp --now-playing SONG_FORMAT` instead.

## How shall key_screen_switcher work?
##
## - "previous" - switch between current and last used screen
## - "sequence: 2 -> 9 -> 5" - switch between given sequence of screens.
##
## Screen numbers you can use after 'sequence' keyword are:
##
## - 1 - help
## - 2 - playlist
## - 3 - browser
## - 4 - search engine
## - 5 - media library
## - 6 - playlist editor
## - 7 - tag editor
## - 8 - outputs
## - 9 - visualizer
## - 10 - clock
##
## As you can see, above example will switch between
## playlist, visualizer and media library screens.

##
## Note: You can choose default search mode for search
## engine. Available modes are:

## - 1 - use mpd built-in searching (no regexes, pattern matching)
## - 2 - use ncmpcpp searching (pattern matching with support for regexes,
## but if your mpd is on a remote machine, downloading big database
## to process it can take a while
## - 3 - match only exact values (this mode uses mpd function for searching
## in database and local one for searching in current playlist)
