players.txt

This configuration file should be updated whenever audio player (mpd, mpvor vlc) has been installed. The proper folder should be defined in the corresponding section of the players.txt file.

audio

This section defines which audio player will be used by Peppy Player. Three different players are currently supported and can be defined in property player.name: mpd, mpv and vlc. Only one player name can be defined at a time.

[audio]
player.name = vlc
music.folder.linux = /music
music.folder.windows = C:\music

The property music.folder is required for 'mpd' player. It should be the same as defined in mpd.conf file e.g. C:\music. It's not required for mpv and vlc and can be left blank.

This following sections define the information specific for each player. It includes folder name where audio player is located, command used to start the player and Peppy Player client name used for communication with audio player.
