NAME
mptoggle - single button control for mpd
SYNOPSIS
mptoggle [host] [playlist ...]
DESCRIPTION
mptoggle allows mpd to be controlled by a single physical button. It
was designed for a linksys nslu2 running mpd, for which the only
available physical control is a power button that can be remapped to
run an arbitrary program.
mptoggle toggles playback each time it’s run. So press the button once
to start, and a second time to stop. Each time it starts playing. By
default it selects a new different playlist, at random, to play. If
playlist names are specified at the command line, it will choose
between those at random.
Example of how to make the nslu2’s power button run mptoggle, in
/etc/inittab:
ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/usr/bin/mptoggle localhost
