mpdlrc displays synchronized lyrics for the currently playing track in the Music Player Daemon (MPD). It uses the track's file path to find an .lrc file, e.g. file.mp3 => file.lrc. In the future, it may be extended to support synchronized lyrics embedded in the audio file.
Installation requires a go compiler and the go tool.
Install to ${GOPATH:-$HOME/go}/bin using the go tool.
$ go install github.com/env25/mpdlrc@latestor use master branch
$ go install github.com/env25/mpdlrc@masterNOTE: You may need to add ${GOPATH:-$HOME/go}/bin to $PATH.
If you run mpd in your local machine and you use MPD_HOST (and MPD_PORT) (see man:mpc(1)), you need no further configuration. If connecting using a UNIX socket, mpdlrc queries for the music directory using the MPD protocol. Otherwise, because of a restriction in the MPD protocol, it reads mpd configuration files as fallback. mpdlrc assumes your lyrics are stored alongside your music with the same filepath minus extension.
If you run mpd on a remote machine, you should explicitly configure the lyrics directory with mpdlrc. Currently you require a directory path accessible using the local machine, so you will probably need to mount your files using something like sshfs or rclone. If using a different directory, the layout should match what is used by mpd.
Any automatic configuration can be overridden using a TOML config file. The config file should be located in ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/mpdlrc/config.toml. More exhaustive documentation for the config file can be found in docs/config-docs.toml.
