Allows MPD on Linux to play audio
directly from a soundcard using the scheme
alsa://
. Audio is formatted as 44.1 kHz
16-bit stereo (CD format). Examples:
mpc add alsa://
plays audio from device hw:0,0
mpc add alsa://hw:1,0
plays audio from device
hw:1,0
Plays audio CDs. The URI has the form:
"cdda://[DEVICE][/TRACK]
". The
simplest form cdda://
plays the whole
disc in the default drive.
Setting | Description |
---|---|
default_byte_order
little_endian|big_endian
| If the CD drive does not specify a byte order, MPD assumes it is the CPU's native byte order. This setting allows overriding this. |
Opens remote files or streams over HTTP.
Setting | Description |
---|---|
proxy
| Sets the address of the HTTP proxy server. |
proxy_user ,
proxy_password
| Configures proxy authentication. |
verify_peer
yes|no
| Verify the peer's SSL certificate? More information. |
verify_host
yes|no
| Verify the certificate's name against host? More information. |
Plays Spotify tracks using the despotify
library. The despotify plugin uses a spt://
URI and a Spotify
URL. So for example, you can add a song with:
mpc add spt://spotify:track:5qENVY0YEdZ7fiuOax70x1
You need a Spotify premium account to use this plugin, and you need to setup username and password in the configuration file. The configuration settings are global since the despotify playlist plugin use the same settings.
Setting | Description |
---|---|
despotify_user
| Sets up the Spotify username (required) |
despotify_password
| Sets up the Spotify password (required) |
despotify_high_bitrate
| Set up if high bitrate should be used for Spotify tunes. High bitrate sounds better but slow systems can have problems with playback (default yes). |
Allows MPD to access files on
NFSv3 servers without actually mounting them (i.e. in
userspace, without help from the kernel's VFS layer). All
URIs with the nfs://
scheme are used
according to RFC2224.
Example:
mpc add nfs://servername/path/filename.ogg
Note that this usually requires enabling the "insecure" flag
in the server's /etc/exports
file,
because MPD cannot bind to
so-called "privileged" ports. Don't fear: this will not
make your file server insecure; the flag was named in a time
long ago when privileged ports were thought to be meaningful
for security. By today's standards, NFSv3 is not secure at
all, and if you believe it is, you're already doomed.
