MPDUpdate Plugin ================ ``mpdupdate`` is a very simple plugin for beets that lets you automatically update `MPD`_'s index whenever you change your beets library. .. _MPD: http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Music_Player_Daemon_Wiki To use it, enable it in your ``config.yaml`` by putting ``mpdupdate`` on your ``plugins`` line. Then, you'll probably want to configure the specifics of your MPD server. You can do that using an ``mpdupdate:`` section in your ``config.yaml``, which looks like this:: mpdupdate: host: localhost port: 6600 password: seekrit With that all in place, you'll see beets send the "update" command to your MPD server every time you change your beets library. If you want to communicate with MPD over a Unix domain socket instead over TCP, just give the path to the socket in the filesystem for the ``host`` setting. (Any ``host`` value starting with a slash or a tilde is interpreted as a domain socket.)
