Welcome to the mbmp wiki!

Announcements

  • 2017.02.19 - Significant UI change.

The playlist window has been changed from a floating window and moved into the player. Shortcut to access it has remained as the l key. This is an attempt to allow a UI similar to the old XNoise program that I found quite nice when playing music. A new window to display album art has also been added (shortcut key t).

Musicbrainz queries have also been made more robust, and a user-agent string has been added so GET requests are not automatically rejected.

A user defined youtube-dl timeout value has also been added. Formerly the timeout was hardcoded in and often times the timeout would be reached before youtube-dl had enough time to parse the URL. Now the timeout can be adjusted to suit the internet speed at your location.

  • 2017.01.08 - Another January Release is Ready

Well I've not been good about keeping this wiki page updated, but there has been a fair amount of upgrades over the past year. Features added include parsing URL's through youtube-dl (if you have it installed) and rewriting the IPC to be MPRIS2 compliant. This means the MBMP can be controlled through any MPRIS client such as playerctl. Also implemented is the ability to turn off DPMS and X screen blanking while playing.

  • 2016.01.02 - January Release is Ready

New release is available, details of what is new are on the release page. Please see the September release note below if you've not already done this. If you have done it then it is not necessary to repeat. Configuration file md5 sums are now kept in the settings file, and when a change is made at our end a notification will popup informing you of that fact.

  • 2015.09.06 - Septermber Release is Ready

New release is available, details of what is new are on the release page. If you had a previous version installed please remove your ~/.config/mbmp directory before updating. A new one will be created first time you run the program and removing the old one is necessary as some of the files in the new release have a format not compatible with the older versions.
