mpcplus-tmux - runs mpcplus, a visualizer, and displays album art in a tmux session

SYNOPSIS

mpcplus-tmux [-a] [-A] [-c client] [-g] [-p script] [-r] [-u]

DESCRIPTION

The mpcplus-tmux command opens several panes in a terminal window, executing the mpcplus MPD client in one pane, a visualizer in another pane, and displaying album cover art in another pane. The album cover art automatically updates when another album is selected in the MPD client pane. The visualizer pane displays, by default, the mppcava spectrum visualizer. Alternately, the visualizer pane can display a Python ASCIImatics visualization.
