6 mpd.lua - wmiirc-lua plugin for monitoring and controlling mpd (music player daemon)
10 -- in your wmiirc.lua:
11 mpd = wmii.load_plugin("mpd")
16 For binding the mpd controls to the multimedia keys you could add
17 the following keyhandlers to your wmiirc.lua:
19 wmii.add_key_handler('XF86AudioNext', mpd.next_song())
21 wmii.add_key_handler('XF86AudioPrev', mpd.prev_song())
23 wmii.add_key_handler('XF86AudioPlay', mpd.toggle_pause())
25 wmii.add_key_handler('XF86AudioStop', mpd.stop())
