7##### directories ######
8##
9## Directory for storing ncmpcpp related files.
10## Changing it is useful if you want to store
11## everything somewhere else and provide command
12## line setting for alternative location to config
13## file which defines that while launching ncmpcpp.
14##
15#
16ncmpcpp_directory = ~/.ncmpcpp
17#
18##
19## Directory for storing downloaded lyrics. It
20## defaults to ~/.lyrics since other MPD clients
21## (eg. ncmpc) also use that location.
22##
23#
24#lyrics_directory = ~/.lyrics
25#
26##### connection settings #####
27#
28#mpd_host = localhost
29#
30#mpd_port = 6600
31#
32#mpd_connection_timeout = 5
33#
34## Needed for tag editor and file operations to work.
35##
36mpd_music_dir = ~/usr/music
37#
38#mpd_crossfade_time = 5
39#
40##### music visualizer #####
41##
42## Note: In order to make music visualizer work you'll
43## need to use mpd fifo output, whose format parameter
44## has to be set to 44100:16:1 for mono visualization
45## or 44100:16:2 for stereo visualization. Example
46## configuration (it has to be put into mpd.conf):
47##
48## audio_output {
49## type "fifo"
50## name "Visualizer feed"
51## path "/tmp/mpd.fifo"
52## format "44100:16:2"
53## }
54##
55#
56visualizer_fifo_path = /tmp/mpd.fifo
57#
58##
59## Note: Below parameter is needed for ncmpcpp
60## to determine which output provides data for
61## visualizer and thus allow syncing between
62## visualization and sound as currently there
63## are some problems with it.
64##
65#
66visualizer_output_name = my fifo
67#
68##
69## If you set format to 44100:16:2, make it 'yes'.
70##
71visualizer_in_stereo = yes
72#
73##
74## Multiply received samples by given value. Very
75## useful for proper visualization of quiet music.
76##
77#visualizer_sample_multiplier = 1
78#
79##
80## Note: Below parameter defines how often ncmpcpp
81## has to "synchronize" visualizer and audio outputs.
82## 30 seconds is optimal value, but if you experience
83## synchronization problems, set it to lower value.
84## Keep in mind that sane values start with >=10.
85##
86#
87visualizer_sync_interval = 30
88#
89##
90## Note: To enable spectrum frequency visualization
91## you need to compile ncmpcpp with fftw3 support.
92##
93#
94## Available values: spectrum, wave, wave_filled, ellipse.
95##
96visualizer_type = spectrum
97#
98#visualizer_look = ●▮
99visualizer_look = "●•"
100#
101#visualizer_color = blue, cyan, green, yellow, magenta, red
102#
103## Alternative subset of 256 colors for terminals that support it.
104##
105#visualizer_color = 41, 83, 119, 155, 185, 215, 209, 203, 197, 161
106#
107##### system encoding #####
108##
109## ncmpcpp should detect your charset encoding
110## but if it failed to do so, you can specify
111## charset encoding you are using here.
112##
113## Note: You can see whether your ncmpcpp build
114## supports charset detection by checking output
115## of `ncmpcpp --version`.
116##
117## Note: Since MPD uses UTF-8 by default, setting
118## this option makes sense only if your encoding
119## is different.
120##
121#
122#system_encoding = ""
123#
124##### delays #####
125#
126## Time of inactivity (in seconds) after playlist
127## highlighting will be disabled (0 = always on).
128##
129#playlist_disable_highlight_delay = 5
130#
131## Defines how long messages are supposed to be visible.
132##
133#message_delay_time = 5
134#
135##### song format #####
136##
137## For a song format you can use:
138##
139## %l - length
140## %f - filename
141## %D - directory
142## %a - artist
143## %A - album artist
144## %t - title
145## %b - album
146## %y - date
147## %n - track number (01/12 -> 01)
148## %N - full track info (01/12 -> 01/12)
149## %g - genre
150## %c - composer
151## %p - performer
152## %d - disc
153## %C - comment
154## %P - priority
155## $R - begin right alignment
156##
157## If you want to make sure that a part of the format is displayed
158## only when certain tags are present, you can archieve it by
159## grouping them with brackets, e.g. '{%a - %t}' will be evaluated
160## to 'ARTIST - TITLE' if both tags are present or '' otherwise.
161## It is also possible to define a list of alternatives by providing
162## several groups and separating them with '|', e.g. '{%t}|{%f}'
163## will be evaluated to 'TITLE' or 'FILENAME' if the former is not
164## present.
165##
166## Note: If you want to set limit on maximal length of a tag, just
167## put the appropriate number between % and character that defines
168## tag type, e.g. to make album take max. 20 terminal cells, use '%20b'.
169##
170## In addition, formats support markers used for text attributes.
171## They are followed by character '$'. After that you can put:
172##
173## - 0 - default window color (discards all other colors)
174## - 1 - black
175## - 2 - red
176## - 3 - green
177## - 4 - yellow
178## - 5 - blue
179## - 6 - magenta
180## - 7 - cyan
181## - 8 - white
182## - 9 - end of current color
183## - b - bold text
184## - u - underline text
185## - r - reverse colors
186## - a - use alternative character set
187##
188## If you don't want to use a non-color attribute anymore, just put it
189## again, but this time insert character '/' between '$' and attribute
190## character, e.g. {$b%t$/b}|{$r%f$/r} will display bolded title tag
191## or filename with reversed colors.
192##
193## If you want to use 256 colors and/or background colors in formats
194## (the naming scheme is described below in section about color
195## definitions), it can be done with the syntax $(COLOR), e.g. to set
196## the artist tag to one of the non-standard colors and make it have
197## yellow background, you need to write $(197_yellow)%a$(end). Note
198## that for standard colors this is interchangable with attributes
199## listed above.
200##
201## Note: colors can be nested.
202##
203#
204#song_list_format = {%a - }{%t}|{$8%f$9}$R{$3(%l)$9}
205#
206#song_status_format = {{%a{ "%b"{ (%y)}} - }{%t}}|{%f}

227##
228## Note: attributes are not supported for the following variables.
229##
230#song_window_title_format = {%a - }{%t}|{%f}
231##
232## Note: Below variables are used for sorting songs in browser.
233## The sort mode determines how songs are sorted, and can be used
234## in combination with a sort format to specify a custom sorting format.
235## Available values for browser_sort_mode are "name", "mtime", "format"
236## and "noop".
237##
238#
239#browser_sort_mode = name
240#
241#browser_sort_format = {%a - }{%t}|{%f} {(%l)}
242#
243##### columns settings #####
244##
245## syntax of song columns list format is "column column etc."
246##
247## - syntax for each column is:
248##
249## (width of the column)[color of the column]{displayed tag}
250##
251## Note: Width is by default in %, if you want a column to
252## have fixed size, add 'f' after the value, e.g. (10)[white]{a}
253## will be the column that take 10% of screen (so the real width
254## will depend on actual screen size), whereas (10f)[white]{a}
255## will take 10 terminal cells, no matter how wide the screen is.
256##
257## - color is optional (if you want the default one,
258## leave the field empty).
259##
260## Note: You can give a column additional attributes by putting appropriate
261## character after displayed tag character. Available attributes are:
262##
263## - r - column will be right aligned
264## - E - if tag is empty, empty tag marker won't be displayed
265##
266## You can also:
267##
268## - give a column custom name by putting it after attributes,
269## separated with character ':', e.g. {lr:Length} gives you
270## right aligned column of lengths named "Length".
271##
272## - define sequence of tags, that have to be displayed in case
273## predecessor is empty in a way similar to the one in classic
274## song format, i.e. using '|' character, e.g. {a|c|p:Owner}
275## creates column named "Owner" that tries to display artist
276## tag and then composer and performer if previous ones are
277## not available.
278##
279#
280#song_columns_list_format = (20)[]{a} (6f)[green]{NE} (50)[white]{t|f:Title} (20)[cyan]{b} (7f)[magenta]{l}

479##### colors definitions #####
480##
481## It is possible to set a background color by setting a color
482## value "<foreground>_<background>", e.g. red_black will set
483## foregound color to red and background color to black.
484##
485## In addition, for terminals that support 256 colors it
486## is possible to set one of them by using a number in range
487## [1, 256] instead of color name, e.g. numerical value
488## corresponding to red_black is 2_1. To find out if the
489## terminal supports 256 colors, run ncmpcpp and check out
490## the bottom of the help screen for list of available colors
491## and their numerical values.
492##
493## Note: due to technical limitations of ncurses, if 256 colors
494## are used, it is possible to either use only the colors with
495## default background color, or all pairs from 1_1 up to 254_127,
