mpd-controll in Fvwm-Button - Applet

Configuration FvwmScript
1

I´ve written an applet for FvwmButton to controll my mpd:

In the fvwm2rc:

*FvwmButton: (4x2 Frame 0, Colorset 18, Icon player_rew.png Action(Mouse 1) `Exec exec echo -e "previous\\nclose"|nc $mpd_host $mpd_port`, \
							Action(Mouse 3) `Exec exec echo -e "seek -4%\\nclose"|nc $mpd_host $mpd_port`)
#	*FvwmButton: (3x2 Frame 0, Colorset 18, PressColorset 10, Icon player_pause.png PressIcon player_play.png Action(Mouse 1) `Exec exec echo -e "pause\\nclose"|nc $mpd_host $mpd_port` )
*FvwmButton: (3x2 Frame 0, Colorset 18, Id "mpp", Icon player_play.png Action(Mouse 1) `Exec exec /usr/bin/mpc status|grep -q '\[playing\]\|\[paused\]' && /usr/bin/mpc -h $mpd_host -p $mpd_port toggle || /usr/bin/mpc -h $mpd_host -p $mpd_port play`)
*FvwmButton: (3x2 Frame 0, Colorset 18, Icon player_fwd.png Action(Mouse 1) `Exec exec echo -e "next\\nclose"|nc $mpd_host $mpd_port`)
*FvwmButton: (3x2 Frame 0, Colorset 18, Icon player_stop.png Action `Exec exec echo -e "stop\\nclose"|nc $mpd_host $mpd_port`)
*FvwmButton: (4x2 Frame 0, Colorset 18, Icon stock_volume.png Action (Mouse 4) `Exec exec /usr/bin/mpc -h $mpd_host -p $mpd_port volume +5 > /dev/null`, \
							Action (Mouse 5) `Exec exec /usr/bin/mpc -h $mpd_host -p $mpd_port volume -5 > /dev/null`)
*FvwmButton: (22x2, Colorset 18, Frame 0, Swallow FvwmApplet-MpdSongInfo `FvwmScript FvwmApplet-MpdSongInfo 18`)

And the FvwmApplet-MpdSongInfo:

You need to have installed mpc also an the gnome-icon-theme, which includes this icons (i think it´s the “gnome-icon-theme”)

I´m still looking for a possibility, to scroll the songtitle automatically left and right, to see the full title, if it´s too long for the line.

For /usr/bin/x-mpd-client i made a new group in /etc/alternatives. You can change this to your preferred GUI-Client for mpd.

But you have this:

Id, "mpp",

Which is incorrect. It should be:

Id "mpp"

I have the right syntax in my config. Made a mistake during editing this posting.

Thx for the correction. I deleted the comma in the text above.
