Currently, mpd-now-playable can only be configured through environment variables. Command-line arguments are intentionally not supported, since your MPD password is among the supported settings and command-line arguments are not a secure way to pass secrets such as passwords into commands. Reading configuration from a file is secure, so mpd-now-playable may support a config file in future.
The following environment variables are read:
The following environment variables are read. The `MPD_HOST` and `MPD_PORT` variables are supported in the same way `mpc` uses them, but you can alternatively provide your password as a separate `MPD_PASSWORD` variable if you wish.
- `MPD_HOSTNAME` - defaults to `localhost`, which should be fine for most users. If you want to control a remote MPD server, though, you can.
- `MPD_HOST` - defaults to `localhost`, which should be fine for most users. If you want to control a remote MPD server, though, you can.
