mpcinputd

Daemon reading from a named input device and converting buttons pressed on a remote control to mpc commands.

Limitations

The daemon is made to fit my own setup, it might become more customizable in the future.

Build

  • Compile the daemon:

    make
    
  • Installation, default PREFIX is /usr/local/. The daemon will be installed in ${PREFIX}/sbin/mpcinputd:

    make install
    

Automatic start on system start (gentoo)

Assuming openrc:

install -o root -g wheel -m 755 openrc/mpcinputd /etc/init.d/mpcinputd

Add it to the default runlevel:

rc-update add mpcinputd default
