A curses based mpd client with basic functionality and album art.

Last update: Dec 24, 2022

Overview

Miniplayer

A curses based mpd client with basic functionality and album art.

After installation, the player can be opened from the terminal with miniplayer.

Installation

This package can be installed by:

Cloning this repository to your computer and running

python setup.py install

Through PyPi with

pip install miniplayer

By installing the miniplayer-git package with your AUR package manager of choice.

Configuration

The config file is located at ~/.config/miniplayer/config. The example configuration file, config.example, has all the default values. You will need to create the file yourself.

player

music_directory: The path to your music directory for extracting album art.
font_width: The width of your font in pixels in the actual terminal.
font_height: The height of your font in pixels in the actual terminal.
image_method: The method to use for drawing album art. Available values are pixcat and ueberzug If you are not using Kitty, try ueberzug.

mpd

host: The mpd host
port: The mpd port

Keybinds

Key	function
h	Show keybinds
p	Play/pause
>	Next track
<	Last track
q	Quit
+	Volume +5
-	Volume -5

F.A.Q.

Q: Album art is not showing up.
A: Make sure your music_directory is not quoted i.e. if your music directory is ~/My Music then your config should look like music_directory = ~/My Music.
If this does not work, try changing image_method from pixcat to ueberzug or vice versa.
Q: Album art is too big/too small.
A: You need to configure font_height and font_width. Their values should be the actual pixel height and width of a character in your terminal.

Comments

Alacritty doesnt show cover art
Alacritty with ueberzug doesn't showed the cover art and with pixcat crashed I know that a song I'm listening to has an embedded art. The others functionality work fine, but I'm not seeing the album art

image_method = ueberzug music_directory = ~/mus

opt info: alacritty 0.9.0 (fed349aa) ueberzug 18.1.9 pixcat 0.1.4

Ubuntu 18.04.5 user here on an old 32 bit laptop. So maybe it's the reason of the problem.

I installed miniplayer via sudo python3 setup.py install. Log:

The config file is not created by default on /home/itook/.config/miniplayer/config so I created the directory and moved the sample config to it and renamed as "config". Then I edited it with adding my music directory.

When I execute the command miniplayer I only see the message "Put some beats on!".

No album art in the virtual terminal

Hi!

In the Config file, if I set any size, nothing changes. A 5 "monitors are unreadable small letters. The other problem is that the covers do not appear. My Music folder: / MNT / Music / Blues / MNT / Music / Rock / MNT / Music / Jazz

The setting is: [art] Image_method = ueberzug Music_directory = / MNT / Music http_base_url = http://192.168.1.2:88 http_cover_filenames = cover.jpg

Can you help me?

Album art fetching from HTTP server
Hi!

I love the miniplayer, but my album art isn't present in the files.

Instead, since I'm using the Android clients MPDroid and MAFA a lot, I've followed the instructions provided by the MPDroid wiki to set up an HTTP server that serves my album art for me. Both of these players support this exact implementation, and of course other users/developers can use it as well.

So, I forked your repository and altered and expanded on the code to make it support album art fetching from such an HTTP server.

If it interests you, I hope you will merge these changes to upstream. Of course I'm more than willing to change the code/approach where desired as well :).

If you do feel this is a worthy addition, here's a summary of what I did:

Since there are now more settings regarding album art fetching, I felt a config section art was in order. I've moved music_directory and image_method there, and added the new http_base_url and http_cover_filenames options.

There is now a central Player.getAlbumArt method, which will, based on the config, fetch art from the HTTP server, or from the files. Each of these routes have their own private method in the Player class.

I made the default album art drawing logic a separate function Player.drawDefaultAlbumArt, especially now that it's called from several places.

I've updated the example config and README. It might be a bit minimal though.

Two things I feel uncertain about is:

Whatever the image is, it is always saved to the /tmp directory with a PNG file extension. Of course this should be an issue just as much with retrieving album art from files, and that seems to work fine. Also, I've tested with a JPG file from my HTTP server, and it seems to work just fine there too.

I bumped minor version, but since I moved some existing config keys around, this release would not be compatible with current configs, so therefore it might be better to make this a major version upgrade (2.0.0 for instance).

Let me hear what you think. No worries if you reject the feature altogether, I can maintain a fork if necessary :).

Thanks, Bart

A config option to show only the album artwork

Hey there,

Love the simplicity of this program! I'm primarily using this as a scratchpad window to quickly show album artwork, and I feel like it is a really nice companion program to something like ncmpcpp.

It might be neat to add a config option to show the artwork only; no progress indicator/track info.

Perhaps the track information can be used as the window title itself while there is an active track playing, rather than simply displaying 'miniplayer'.

I'm thinking this addition might be potentially useful for people who use a multiplexer with other minimal mpd clients -- i.e. a tmux session with individual panes for ncmpcpp, miniplayer, etc. - this way they could simply use miniplayer as a way to display artwork only, and still retain the ability to use it as a standalone application with track changing, pausing, etc. via the keybinds.

Before I take a stab at it myself I thought I'd pitch the idea to see what you think?

Add mpd readpicture method as an option in miniplayer

I wasn't able to get miniplayer working for the the longest time and realized that it's because of the way I have the cover art setup. I embed the cover art into all of my audio files rather than putting the cover.png in the album's directory.

This pull request fixes said issue by adding a config option to use mpd's "readpicture" function which extracts the cover art from the audio file.

Error when trying to build

Hi, I'm the maintainer of the AUR package; I'm having issues building the package, either with python setup.py build or with python -m build --wheel:

error: Multiple top-level packages discovered in a flat-layout: ['img', 'miniplayer'].

To avoid accidental inclusion of unwanted files or directories,
setuptools will not proceed with this build.

If you are trying to create a single distribution with multiple packages
on purpose, you should not rely on automatic discovery.
Instead, consider the following options:

1. set up custom discovery (`find` directive with `include` or `exclude`)
2. use a `src-layout`
3. explicitly set `py_modules` or `packages` with a list of names

To find more information, look for "package discovery" on setuptools docs.

Reset color data when program exits
Hey again, I noticed that when I have colors set to auto in the config file, these colors tend to persist and bleed into other TUI apps that are launched from within the same terminal, ie ncmpcpp

running miniplayer, colors get applied based on artwork:

running ncmpcpp, colors which miniplayer applied persist:

I'm not 100% on this, but I believe ColorThief applies colors via escape sequences, which would probably explain why this happens. I suspect that if there is a way to clear all color values set by miniplayer once the program exits that this would no longer occur. Would sourcing colors from xresources upon exit be a good idea?

What do you think?

v1.8.1(Nov 25, 2022)
Summary

Added a command line where you can add songs to the playlist.

v1.8.0(Nov 23, 2022)
Summary

Added a command line where you can add songs to the playlist.

Changelog

Added

Added new keybind command_line which launches the command line

Added config options command_sep_color and command_hierarchy_color to set command line colors

Added config options command_sep and command_char to customize the look of the command line.

Have fun :heart:

The command line

The command line can be used to add songs to the current playlist. To launch it, press the command_line button (that's : by default). The command line supports some tab completion but you cannot move the caret left or right (yet).

The format is as follows:

[hierarchy] [tag1/tag2/tag3/...tagN]

You do not have to populate all the tags. if you type, for example, artist Phoebe Bridgers/ and hit enter, all of Phoebe's music in your library will be added to the playlist.

NOTE You do not type the seperator! It is added automatically. Just use a space!

The hierarchy controls the order of the tags and what each tag represents. Currently there are 4 available hierarchies with plans to add user configurable ones in the future.

Hierarchies

| Hierarchy | Tag format | | --------- | ----------------- | | album | album/song | | artist | artist/song | | song | song | | aa | artist/album/song |

Command line keys

| Key | Action | |--------|-------------------------------------------------| | Escape | Exit command line | | Enter | Attempt to add the current tags to the playlist |

v1.7.3(Nov 22, 2022)
Summary

Miniplayer now supports embedded album art again and users can use their config directory set in XDG_CONFIG_HOME instead of the hardcoded ~/.config

Changelog

Changed

Album art fetching now goes by the following steps (Thanks to @aaw3 with #29 honorable mention to @an-prata):

Check if the current song has embedded art and use that.

Check if there is a cover image file present in the songs folder and use that.

Draw and use the default album art.

Miniplayer now checks if the XDG_CONFIG_HOME directory exists and will use that for config (Thanks to @tye-singwa with #25 )

Fixed

Minor performance improvements

Have fun! :heart:
