% dtas-tl(1) dtas user manual =head1 NAME dtas-tl - tracklist manipulation for dtas-player (development) =head1 SYNOPSYS dtas-tl [COMMANDS] =head1 DESCRIPTION dtas-tl provides utility functions for manipulating the tracklist of the dtas-player (not the queue, the tracklist is separate from the queue). It is mainly intended as a development tool and will likely go away in the future or have its functionality merged into another tool (or MPRIS client). =head1 COMMANDS =over =item aac - Bdd tracks Bfter Burrent track in the tracklist =item addhead - add tracks to the beginning of the tracklist =item addtail - add tracks to the end of the tracklist =item consume [BOOLEAN] - show, enable, or disable consume mode Enabling "consume" mode causes tracks to be removed when they are done playing (or skipped). =item current - display the current track, "NONE" if not playing =item current-id - display the TRACKID of the current track "NONE" if not playing =item cat - display a newline-delimited list of TRACK_ID=PATH output =item clear - remove all tracks from the tracklist =item edit - spawn an editor to allow editing the tracklist as a text file See EDITING for more information. =item goto TRACKID [POS] Play TRACKID immediately, optionally seek to POS TRACKID may be looked up via cat, and POS should be a timestamp in HH:MM:SS.FRAC format. =item reto REGEXP [POS] Play first track with path matching REGEXP immediately, optionally seek to POS. POS should be a timestamp in HH:MM:SS.FRAC format. =item next - play the next track in the tracklist =item prev - play the previous track in the tracklist =item repeat 1 - repeat the current track =item repeat false - disable repeat =item repeat true - enable repeat of the whole tracklist =item shuffle [BOOLEAN] - show, enable, or disable random playback =back See L for a detailed description of the protocol. =head1 EXAMPLES display the current tracklist $ dtas-tl cat to add an entire directory of FLAC files $ dtas-tl addtail /path/to/directory/*.flac to skip forward in the tracklist $ dtas-tl next to skip backwards in the tracklist $ dtas-tl prev =head1 EDITING It is possible to edit the player tracklist from your favorite text editor. Existing lines denoting tracks may be rearranged, deleted, copied or entirely new lines with path names (without a trailing "=TRACK_ID") may be added. Changes to the tracklist are sent to the player when the user exits the editor. This functionality only works when there is one user editing the tracklist at a time, and when no files in the tracklist contain rare newline characters. =head1 ENVIRONMENT VISUAL / EDITOR - your favorite *nix text editor, defaults to 'vi' if unset. DTAS_PLAYER_SOCK - the path to the dtas-player control socket. This defaults to ~/.dtas/player.sock =head1 CONTACT All feedback welcome via plain-text mail to: L Mailing list archives available at L and L No subscription is necessary to post to the mailing list. =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 2013-2016 all contributors L License: GPL-3.0+ L =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L
