##############################################################
## This is the example configuration file. Copy it to ##
## $HOME/.ncmpcpp/config or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ncmpcpp/config ##
## and set up your preferences. ##
##############################################################
#
##### directories ######
##
## Directory for storing ncmpcpp related files.
## Changing it is useful if you want to store
## everything somewhere else and provide command
## line setting for alternative location to config
## file which defines that while launching ncmpcpp.
##
#
ncmpcpp_directory = ~/.ncmpcpp
#
##
## Directory for storing downloaded lyrics. It
## defaults to ~/.lyrics since other MPD clients
## (eg. ncmpc) also use that location.
##
#
#lyrics_directory = ~/.lyrics
#
##### connection settings #####
#
#mpd_host = localhost
#
#mpd_port = 6600
#
#mpd_connection_timeout = 5
#
## Needed for tag editor and file operations to work.
##
mpd_music_dir = ~/usr/music
#
#mpd_crossfade_time = 5
#
##### music visualizer #####
##
## Note: In order to make music visualizer work you'll
## need to use mpd fifo output, whose format parameter
## has to be set to 44100:16:1 for mono visualization
## or 44100:16:2 for stereo visualization. Example
## configuration (it has to be put into mpd.conf):
##
## audio_output {
## type "fifo"
## name "Visualizer feed"
## path "/tmp/mpd.fifo"
## format "44100:16:2"
## }
##
#
visualizer_fifo_path = /tmp/mpd.fifo
#
##
## Note: Below parameter is needed for ncmpcpp
## to determine which output provides data for
## visualizer and thus allow syncing between
## visualization and sound as currently there
## are some problems with it.
##
#
visualizer_output_name = my fifo
#
##
## If you set format to 44100:16:2, make it 'yes'.
##
visualizer_in_stereo = yes
#
##
## Multiply received samples by given value. Very
## useful for proper visualization of quiet music.
##
#visualizer_sample_multiplier = 1
#
##
## Note: Below parameter defines how often ncmpcpp
## has to "synchronize" visualizer and audio outputs.
## 30 seconds is optimal value, but if you experience
## synchronization problems, set it to lower value.
## Keep in mind that sane values start with >=10.
##
#
visualizer_sync_interval = 30
#
##
## Note: To enable spectrum frequency visualization
## you need to compile ncmpcpp with fftw3 support.
##
#
## Available values: spectrum, wave, wave_filled, ellipse.
##
visualizer_type = spectrum
#
#visualizer_look = ●▮
visualizer_look = "●•"
#
#visualizer_color = blue, cyan, green, yellow, magenta, red
#
## Alternative subset of 256 colors for terminals that support it.
##
#visualizer_color = 41, 83, 119, 155, 185, 215, 209, 203, 197, 161
#
##### system encoding #####
##
## ncmpcpp should detect your charset encoding
## but if it failed to do so, you can specify
## charset encoding you are using here.
##
## Note: You can see whether your ncmpcpp build
## supports charset detection by checking output
## of `ncmpcpp --version`.
##
## Note: Since MPD uses UTF-8 by default, setting
## this option makes sense only if your encoding
## is different.
##
#
#system_encoding = ""
#
##### delays #####
#
## Time of inactivity (in seconds) after playlist
## highlighting will be disabled (0 = always on).
##
#playlist_disable_highlight_delay = 5
#
## Defines how long messages are supposed to be visible.
##
#message_delay_time = 5
#
##### song format #####
##
## For a song format you can use:
##
## %l - length
## %f - filename
## %D - directory
## %a - artist
## %A - album artist
## %t - title
## %b - album
## %y - date
## %n - track number (01/12 -> 01)
## %N - full track info (01/12 -> 01/12)
## %g - genre
## %c - composer
## %p - performer
## %d - disc
## %C - comment
## %P - priority
## $R - begin right alignment
##
## If you want to make sure that a part of the format is displayed
## only when certain tags are present, you can archieve it by
## grouping them with brackets, e.g. '{%a - %t}' will be evaluated
## to 'ARTIST - TITLE' if both tags are present or '' otherwise.
## It is also possible to define a list of alternatives by providing
## several groups and separating them with '|', e.g. '{%t}|{%f}'
## will be evaluated to 'TITLE' or 'FILENAME' if the former is not
## present.
##
## Note: If you want to set limit on maximal length of a tag, just
## put the appropriate number between % and character that defines
## tag type, e.g. to make album take max. 20 terminal cells, use '%20b'.
##
## In addition, formats support markers used for text attributes.
## They are followed by character '$'. After that you can put:
##
## - 0 - default window color (discards all other colors)
## - 1 - black
## - 2 - red
## - 3 - green
## - 4 - yellow
## - 5 - blue
## - 6 - magenta
## - 7 - cyan
## - 8 - white
## - 9 - end of current color
## - b - bold text
## - u - underline text
## - r - reverse colors
## - a - use alternative character set
##
## If you don't want to use a non-color attribute anymore, just put it
## again, but this time insert character '/' between '$' and attribute
## character, e.g. {$b%t$/b}|{$r%f$/r} will display bolded title tag
## or filename with reversed colors.
##
## If you want to use 256 colors and/or background colors in formats
## (the naming scheme is described below in section about color
## definitions), it can be done with the syntax $(COLOR), e.g. to set
## the artist tag to one of the non-standard colors and make it have
## yellow background, you need to write $(197_yellow)%a$(end). Note
## that for standard colors this is interchangable with attributes
## listed above.
##
## Note: colors can be nested.
##
#
#song_list_format = {%a - }{%t}|{$8%f$9}$R{$3(%l)$9}
#
#song_status_format = {{%a{ "%b"{ (%y)}} - }{%t}}|{%f}
#
#song_library_format = {%n - }{%t}|{%f}
#
#
#alternative_header_first_line_format = $b$1$aqqu$/a$9 {%t}|{%f} $1$atqq$/a$9$/b
#
#alternative_header_second_line_format = {{$4$b%a$/b$9}{ - $7%b$9}{ ($4%y$9)}}|{%D}
#
#now_playing_prefix = $b
#
#now_playing_suffix = $/b
#
#browser_playlist_prefix = "$2playlist$9 "
#
#selected_item_prefix = $6
#
#selected_item_suffix = $9
#
#modified_item_prefix = $3> $9
#
##
## Note: attributes are not supported for the following variables.
##
#song_window_title_format = {%a - }{%t}|{%f}
##
## Note: Below variables are used for sorting songs in browser.
## The sort mode determines how songs are sorted, and can be used
## in combination with a sort format to specify a custom sorting format.
## Available values for browser_sort_mode are "name", "mtime", "format"
## and "noop".
##
#
#browser_sort_mode = name
#
#browser_sort_format = {%a - }{%t}|{%f} {(%l)}
#
##### columns settings #####
##
## syntax of song columns list format is "column column etc."
##
## - syntax for each column is:
##
## (width of the column)[color of the column]{displayed tag}
##
## Note: Width is by default in %, if you want a column to
## have fixed size, add 'f' after the value, e.g. (10)[white]{a}
## will be the column that take 10% of screen (so the real width
## will depend on actual screen size), whereas (10f)[white]{a}
## will take 10 terminal cells, no matter how wide the screen is.
##
## - color is optional (if you want the default one,
## leave the field empty).
##
## Note: You can give a column additional attributes by putting appropriate
## character after displayed tag character. Available attributes are:
##
## - r - column will be right aligned
## - E - if tag is empty, empty tag marker won't be displayed
##
## You can also:
##
## - give a column custom name by putting it after attributes,
## separated with character ':', e.g. {lr:Length} gives you
## right aligned column of lengths named "Length".
##
## - define sequence of tags, that have to be displayed in case
## predecessor is empty in a way similar to the one in classic
## song format, i.e. using '|' character, e.g. {a|c|p:Owner}
## creates column named "Owner" that tries to display artist
## tag and then composer and performer if previous ones are
## not available.
##
#
#song_columns_list_format = (20)[]{a} (6f)[green]{NE} (50)[white]{t|f:Title} (20)[cyan]{b} (7f)[magenta]{l}
#

##
#use_console_editor = yes
#
##### colors definitions #####
##
## It is possible to set a background color by setting a color
## value "<foreground>_<background>", e.g. red_black will set
## foregound color to red and background color to black.
##
## In addition, for terminals that support 256 colors it
## is possible to set one of them by using a number in range
## [1, 256] instead of color name, e.g. numerical value
## corresponding to red_black is 2_1. To find out if the
## terminal supports 256 colors, run ncmpcpp and check out
## the bottom of the help screen for list of available colors
## and their numerical values.
##
## Note: due to technical limitations of ncurses, if 256 colors
## are used, it is possible to either use only the colors with
## default background color, or all pairs from 1_1 up to 254_127,
## depending on the ncurses version used.
##
