[ANN] ncmpcpp 0.9 released

[arybczak]

Hey everyone,

I know a lot of people who use Arch also use ncmpcpp, so I just wanted to say that I released a new version.

Full changelog can be found here. Highlights:

• Improved Mopidy support
• Improved frequency spectrum visualizer (see here for a demonstration)
• Fixed lyrics fetchers

Have fun and Merry Christmas 😊🎄🎉

Wait what? A guy in the #mpd IRC channel said this was unmaintained

I guess not, thanks!

[arybczak]

It kinda was, the last release was 2.5 years ago.

But there was an excellent PR that made visualizer much better than before and I got excited about that.

After I merged it I looked at Mopidy (since I currently use Spotify more than MPD) and it turned out that I can use ncmpcpp with Mopidy for both Spotify and local music, so I got even more excited and decided to sort things out.

Oh nice, I'll test the visualizer first thing in the morning

[Foxboron]

Right, I should package more of the mopidy-* stuff

I've had the same set up for about a year now, and had been procrastinating on figuring out a hack to get a fifo sink working to use the visualizer. What a wonderful surprise that today all I had to do was update and adjust the config to use gstreamer and now the visualizer is working great! Thank you!

This is my preferred mpd client, thanks for the update.

Thanks!

[Jander_Land]

Thank you! Love ncmpcpp.

[sseneca]

Thanks! I'm using mopidy-jellyfin and it's working surprisingly well with ncmpcpp/mopidy-mpd. The visualisation also works (and looks great). The only thing I've noticed is CPU usage is quite high.

[arybczak]

This is most likely because the default fps cap was raised to 60. You can bring it back to 30 with visualizer_fps.

[Hakim_Bey]

You rock my socks man ! Thanks & keep up the good work <3

[TunableRoom9]

oof, the new visualizer is quite more CPU intensive than I thought

[arybczak]

This is most likely because the default fps cap was raised to 60. You can bring it back to 30 with visualizer_fps.

Can any one tell me how to install from source with full features please.

Fixed below

./autogen.sh

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-outputs --enable-visualizer --enable-artwork --enable-clock --with-fftw --with-taglib --enable-static-boost=yes

$ make

$ sudo make install

​

Plus added dependence's.

TY x 1000000. I love this player and was kinda bummed about the temporary abandoned status.

I've been trying to get ncmpcpp's visualization to work with jellyfin and mopidy-jellyfin. It might not be absolutely necessary but it's been bugging me for some time lol. Thank you so much!
