NAME

   mpDris2 - media player interface (MPRIS2) bridge for MPD

SYNOPSIS

   mpDris2 [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

   mpDris2  is an implementation of the MPRIS2 media player interface as a
   client for MPD, allowing MPRIS2 clients to control MPD and observe  its
   track changes via a standard D-Bus interface.

   It can also respond to multimedia keys if running under GNOME, and send
   track-change notifications if python-notify is installed.

   It is normally run  automatically  via  D-Bus  service  activation.  On
   systems  following  the  freedesktop.org  Desktop Application Autostart
   Specification, it will be run automatically on login.

CONFIGURATION

   mpDris2     is     normally      configured      via      the      file
   XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/mpDris2/mpDris2.conf                         (typically
   ~/.config/mpDris2/mpDris2.conf),  whose  contents  are  documented   in
   /usr/share/doc/mpdris2/README.  Settings in this configuration file can
   be overridden by command-line options and environment variables.

OPTIONS

   -p PATH, --path=PATH
          Set the location of the directory from which  mpd  reads  music,
          overriding  the  configuration  file.  The default is to use the
          path specified in the configuration file,  or  try  some  likely
          directories    (XDG_MUSIC_DIR    from    the    environment   or
          XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/user-dirs.dirs, ~/Music, ~/music).

   -h, --help
          Show a help message

   -d, --debug
          Emit debug logging messages

   XDG_CONFIG_HOME=DIRECTORY, XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=SEARCHPATH
          Used      to       find       the       configuration       file

          Directory Specification.

   MPD_HOST=HOSTNAME
          Set  the  hostname  of   the   mpd   server,   overrriding   the
          configuration file.

   MPD_PORT=PORT
          Set   the   port  number  of  the  mpd  server,  overriding  the
          configuration file.
