smpd

The first actually usable command line MPD client. Featuring tab completion and convenient searching.

Requirements:

• mpd (tested with 0.21.5)
• libmpdclient (tested with 2.16)
• c compiler
• c standard library

Install:

$ ./build.sh

# ./install.sh

Sample Usage of Most Used Features:

Case 1:

smpd -x Ettor[TAB]

smpd -x Ettore\ Stratta

Would erase the current queue and then play all songs by artist Ettore Strata.

Case 2:

smpd -a Lovin[TAB]

smpd -a Loving\ You Erik[TAB]

smpd -a Loving\ You Erik\ Satie

Would add all songs titled "Loving You", along with all songs by "Erik Satie" to the current queue.

Note: The tab completion works based on files in your library. The above examples are hypothetical and assume that you have those artists and songs in your library.

Miscellaneous:

• Written in C99
• Compiles with maximum security features (see variable SEC in build.sh) and optimizations (CFLAGS and GCC_OPT)
• Compiles with no warnings or errors using -Wall -Wextra -Wshadow -Wcast-qual -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes on gcc-8.3.0
• Tested all options with valgrind-3.14.0 to make sure there's no memory leaks, including testing w/ errors (hope I got everything, but C inevitably introduces bugs)
• Formatted with clang-format (see .clang-format for configuration)
• Implemented error handling for every libmpdclient call
• I use all of the functionality except the search/adding songs via my keyboard shortcut manager, xbindkeys. An excerpt of my configuration can be seen in the xbindkeys_excerpt file.

Known Issues:

• Tab completion when files have quotes in the name

Options (any of the following can be combined and chained)

-a      Add search results(s) to queue (tab completed), takes a query

-c      Clear the queue

-C      Display the currently playing song

-d      Delete a given position from the queue, takes a position integer

-h      Print this help message

-l      Loop the current song a given amount of times, takes an integer argument

-L      Print all of the currently queued songs

-m      Print the current songs metadata

-n      Skip relatively around in the song queue, takes an integer

-p      Seek to an exact position in the current song (in seconds), takes an integer argument

-P      Seek relatively in the current song (in seconds), takes an integer argument

-r      Toggle repeat mode

-s      Search library, takes query(s)

-x      Clear the queue, then search the library for a given query.  Takesquery(s)

Note: -x and -a have identical behavior, except -x deletes the current queue before adding the results```
