mpc 0.35 (MPD CLI client)⚓︎

mpc is the lightweight command-line client for MPD. It provides shell-friendly access to common player operations such as status queries, play/pause control, queue edits, playlist browsing, and volume changes against a local or remote Music Player Daemon.

In Freetz-EVO the package installs only the mpc CLI binary and links it against the shared libmpdclient package instead of bundling a private copy of the client library.

Freetz integration⚓︎

  • intended companion to the local mpd package, but can control any reachable MPD server
  • useful for shell scripts, cron jobs, SSH sessions, and other low-overhead automation
  • externalizable to move the client binary out of internal flash

Build characteristics⚓︎

  • Meson build with fallback downloads disabled
  • documentation and tests disabled to reduce build time and package size
  • runtime connection defaults inherited from libmpdclient
