SYNOPSIS

       minirok [options] [file]...

DESCRIPTION

       Minirok  is  a  small  music player written in Python for the K Desktop
       Environment. To start it, select it from the applications menu, or type
       minirok in a terminal.

       To  reproduce  music,  first  type  in  the  combo  box at the left the
       directory where music is located, and  press  enter,  or  select  "Open
       directory" from the File menu. Available audio files will be shown in a
       tree structure. Locate the files you want to play,  and  use  drag  and
       drop  to  append  them to the playlist in the right. You can also press
       double click in a file or  a  folder  to  append  it  to  the  existing
       playlist.

       Both  the  tree  view  and  the playlist have search line widgets above
       them. Typing text in them will reduce the shown items to those matching
       the  introduced  words.  If  you press enter after a search in the tree
       view completes, the visible items will be appended to the playlist.  If
       you  press  enter  in the playlist search line, the first visible track
       will be played.

       You can modify the order in which the tracks are played  by  enqueueing
       them  in  a  different  order.  For this, press right button click on a
       track, and select "Enqueue track". Or press Control +  RightButtonClick
       on the track to enqueue.

       Similarly,  you  can  signal  that  playing should stop after a certain
       track. To do this, select  "Stop  playing  after  this  track"  in  the
       contextual menu as above, or press Control + MiddleButtonClick.

       If you make changes to the filesystem, you can quickly refresh the tree
       view by clicking on the refresh button next to the combo box  with  the
       directory  name.  A  key  can  be  also  configurated to do this, F5 by
       default.

DBUS INTERFACE

       Minirok offers a DBus interface to control the player and various other
       bits.  At  the  moment  a  single object /Player is provided, under the
       org.kde.minirok service. To invoke a DBus method, run from  a  terminal
       qdbus  org.kde.minirok  /Player  methodName.   dbus-send(1) should also
       work, but then you’ll need to fully qualify the method name.

       Here’s a list of available methods:

           Play
           Pause
           PlayPause
           Stop
           Next
           Previous
           NowPlaying
           AppendToPlaylist
           StopAfterCurrent

       See the README.Usage file for details. Note that  this  interface  will
       only  be  available if the required dependencies are installed. See the
       README file a list of these.

LAST.FM

       Minirok can submit played tracks to  Last.fm,  or  any  other  Last.fm-
       compatible  service (such as Libre.fm). You will just need to configure
       your username and password in the preferences  dialog.   Starting  with
       Minirok 2.1, no external software is needed any more.

OPTIONS

       -a, --append
              Try  to  append  the  files  given  as  arguments to an existing
              Minirok instance first. If  that  fails,  start  a  new  Minirok
              instance  as  usual. (This is done via DBus, see the README file
              for required dependencies.)

       Minirok also accepts many other  options  for  using  the  Qt  and  KDE
       libraries. Run minirok --help-all for a comprehensive list.

REPORTING BUGS

       Please   report  bug  to  the  Debian  Bug  Tracking  System.  See  the
       README.Bugs file for instructions.

       A list of reported issues is kept at http://bugs.debian.org/minirok.
