I get an error when running it: $ plasmoidviewer plasma_applet_mpc findServiceByDesktopPath: not found But it already looks very nice!
For gentoo the right cmake call is: cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/kde/4.0/ Best wishes, Arne
Please add an option to direct calls to MPD_HOST/MPD_PORT. I'd love to use this, but my MPD is on a remote host. Thanks!
Didn't realize this uses mpc which uses the MPD_HOST; any plans on using libmpdclient in this?
It is on my TODO list. However, I have to see how will it fit in Plasma.
