NAME

       g15mpd  -  A  simple  frontend for the MPD Media Player Daemon, for use
       with g15daemon

DESCRIPTION

       This package provides a fontend for MPD Media Player Daemon, displaying
       information on the LCD in G15 keyboard/

OPTIONS

       g15mpd understands the following options:

       -h     Show usage information.

       -q     Use volume control to scroll through the playlist.

       -v   Show program version.

FEATURES

       Features: - Artist/Title Info is displayed
       - Track time elapsed/total time is displayed, with a completion bar.
       - Random and Repeat modes are available.
       - Multimedia keys are usable when run from X.

CAVEATS

       - Requires MPD to be running in the background.
       -  In  order  for multimedia keys to function, the frontend must be run
       from X11, either in a console, or at X login.
       - Requires that X11 has been configured to  understand  the  mediakeys,
       either  via  the  g15daemon  xmodmap  file, or a similar keyboard being
       selected in X configuration.
       - Currently, playlist management  is  not  available,  so  another  mpd
       frontend will be required to create
         one.
