Mpg123Remote

This is a set of console commands to simplify remote interaction with mpg123.

Preparation

This requires that mpg123 is installed and some fifo pipes have been created.

On mac os x using homebrew, run:

brew install mpg123
mkfifo /tmp/mpg123in
mkfifo /tmp/mpg123out   

Usage

In one console:

(mpg123 --remote --fifo /tmp/mpg123in 2> /dev/null > /tmp/mpg123out &) && bin/mpg123_parse

This console will now show the current player status, current track, seconds remaining, etc.

The player can now be controller from any other console with the following commands:

mpg123_remote load track01.mp3
mpg123_remote pause
mpg123_remote stop
mpg123_remote pitch +0.20
mpg123_remote pitch -0.20
mpg123_remote volume 20
mpg123_remote volume 80
mpg123_somafm secretagent
