ncmpc 0.52⚓︎

• Homepage: https://www.musicpd.org/clients/ncmpc/
• Changelog: https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/ncmpc/releases
• Repository: https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/ncmpc
• Package: master/make/pkgs/ncmpc/

• Steward: -

• Depends on: libmpdclient, ncursesw, libfmt

• Optional dependencies: iconv (character set conversion), pcre2 (regex support), gettext (NLS), lirc (infrared remote control)
• Provides: /usr/bin/ncmpc
• Externalization: supported
• Toolchain: requires uClibc 1.0.58 or newer (FREETZ_TARGET_UCLIBC_1_0_58_MIN in Config.in): ncmpc depends on fmt >= 9 and freetz's libfmt 12.2.0 is only available on uClibc >= 1.0.58. Without it the meson sanity check fails with cc1plus: fatal error: fmt/format.h: No such file or directory.

ncmpc is the official ncurses client for the Music Player Daemon (MPD). It provides a full-featured terminal user interface for browsing the music library, editing the playlist, searching for songs, displaying lyrics, and controlling playback.

In Freetz-EVO the package is built with Meson with most optional screens enabled, offering a rich interactive experience over SSH or a local terminal. All major screens are included: help, library, search, song, key bindings, outputs, and lyrics.

Freetz integration⚓︎

• intended companion to the local mpd package, but can control any reachable MPD server
• useful for interactive SSH sessions and direct terminal usage on the device
• configurable via ~/.ncmpc/config or /mod/etc/default.ncmpc/ defaults
• externalizable to move the binary out of internal flash

Optional features⚓︎

• iconv: character set conversion for non-UTF-8 tags
• PCRE2: regular expression search support
• NLS: native language support for localized messages
• LIRC: infrared remote control support via liblirc_client

Build characteristics⚓︎

• Meson build system with documentation disabled
• colors, mouse support, and all screens (help, library, search, song, key, outputs, lyrics) enabled
• locale and multibyte support enabled
