DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the mpd-sima commands.

       At start up default configuration is first overridden by user configuration in mpd_sima.cfg  (see  FILES)
       and finally command lines options are honored. For instance you can override default MPD host (localhost)
       in  your  configuration  file  or  with  -S my_mpd_server.local  option.  For  default  configuration see
       CONFIGURATION. See also environment variables special case for MPD host and port in ENVIRONMENT.

OPTIONS

       The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes  ('-').
       A summary of options is included below.

       -h; --help
              Print help and exit.

       --version
              Print version and exit.

       --daemon
              Start  as a daemon. Log redirected to /dev/null, usually setting --log and --pid options in daemon
              mode are a good idea to monitor/stop the process.

       -p pid_file; --pid=pid_file
              Use the specific file pid_file to store pid to.

              Default is not to store pid info.

       -l log_file; --log=log_file
              Use the specific file log_file to log messages to.

              Default is to log to stdout/stderr.

       -v log_level; --log-level=log_level
              Verbosity in [debug,info,warning,error].

              Default is to log info messages.

       -c conf_file; --config=conf_file
              Use the specific file conf_file to set up configuration instead of looking for  the  default  user
              configuration file.

              Default  is  to  look  for  ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/mpd_sima/mpd_sima.cfg.   CLI  option  overrides any
              equivalent mentioned in configuration file, ie.  launching mpd-sima with --port  CLI  option  will
              ignore port setting in configuration file.

              For more details on configuration file see also FILES and CONFIGURATION sections.

       --var-dir=var_directory
              Use  the  specific  path var_directory to look for (or create) var files (ie. database) instead of
              looking at the default user data location.

              Default is to look in ${XDG_DATA_HOME}/mpd_sima/. Concerning XDG_DATA_HOME see also FILES section.

       -S mpd_host; --host=mpd_host
              Use the specific host mpd_host as MPD server.mpd_host can be an IP or  a  fully  qualified  domain
              name  as  long  as  your  system  can  resolve  it.  This overrides MPD_HOST environment variable.
              Default is localhost.

              See also ENVIRONMENT section.

       -P mpd_port; --port=mpd_port
              Use the specific  port  number  mpd_port  on  MPD  server.  This  overrides  MPD_PORT  environment
              variable.Default is 6600.

              See also ENVIRONMENT section

COMMAND ARGUMENTS

       config-test
              Test  configuration  file and exit. Uses the configuration file specified with --config or default
              location.  Default is to use $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mpd_sima/mpd_sima.cfg.

              config-test tests MPD connection and Tags plugin configuration.

       create-db
              Create the database and exit. Uses folder specified with --var-dir or default directory.

              Default is to use ${XDG_DATA_HOME}/mpd_sima/ (see CONFIGURATION section for more).

       generate-config
              Generate a sample configuration  file  according  to  the  current  CLI  options  and  environment
              variables. The configuration is written on stdout.

       bl-view
              View blocklist, useful to get entry IDs to remove with delete command.

       bl-add-artist artist
              Add artist to the blocklist. If artist is not provided, try to get the currently playing artist.

       bl-add-album album

       random [nbtracks]
              Starts in random mode overriding internal plugin configuration. If nbtracks is provided,  as  many
              tracks will be queued (defaults to one).

ENVIRONMENT

       MPD_HOST, MPD_PORT
              mpd-sima  will  look  for  MPD_HOST  and  MPD_PORT  to  override  built-in  configuration  (set to
              "localhost:6600").

              mpd-sima expects MPD_HOST syntax as documented in mpc manual, cf.   mpc(1).  To  use  a  password,
              provide a value of the form password@host.

       HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY
              mpd-sima honors HTTP_PROXY environment variables.

CONFIGURATION

       mpd_sima.cfg
              mpd_sima.cfg  is  read  if  present.  Otherwise  built-in  defaults are used. An example should be
              provided  in  the   tarball   within   doc/examples/.    On   Debian   system   please   look   in
              /usr/share/doc/mpd-sima.

       DEFAULTS
          Default is to look for MPD server at localhost:6600 (or MPD_HOST/MPD_PORT env. var. if set).

          The default plugins will use Last.fm to find similar tracks to queue and fallback to random if nothing
          if found.

          The get the defaults as detected by mpd-sima on your system you can run mpd-sima to print the config:

          mpd-sima generate-config

       For details about mpd_sima.cfg refer to the manual mpd_sima.cfg(5)

FILES

       ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/mpd_sima/mpd_sima.cfg
              Configuration file.

       ${XDG_DATA_HOME}/mpd_sima/sima.db
              SQLite internal DB file. Stores play history and blocklists.

       ${XDG_DATA_HOME}/mpd_sima/WEB_SERVICE/
              HTTP cache.

       Usually  XDG_DATA_HOME is set to ${HOME}/.local/share and XDG_CONFIG_HOME to ${HOME}/.config (for regular
       users).  You may override them using command line option --var-dir and --config (cf. mpd-sima(1))
