NAME
       upmpdcli - UPnP Media Renderer front-end to MPD, the Music Player
       Daemon

SYNOPSIS
       upmpdcli [options] files...

DESCRIPTION
       upmpdcli is a program which should be run permanently (typically as a
       daemon, or started upon logging in), and acts as an UPnP Media
       Renderer, using the Music Player Daemon, mpd, for actually playing the
       music. This allows integrating the high quality and widely ported MPD
       inside an UPnP-based music network, typically with a remote running on
       a tablet or phone.

OPTIONS
       This program uses short options. A summary of options is included
       below.

       -h host
              Define the host machine on which mpd runs.

       -f friendly_name
              Set the name which will be displayed by controllers for this
              instance after they search the network.

       -p port
              Define the IP port used by mpd.

       -q 0|1 Decide if we own the MPD queue (-q 1) or not (-q 0). We own it
              by default, and clear it fearlessly.

       -d logfilename
              Send debug/trace messages to logfilename.

       -l level
              Set the log verbosity (0-4).

       -D     Daemonize (fork and run in background). Using -D for this is the
              reverse from usual convention, but the authors found it better
              to avoid surprising naive users with an unexpected disparition
              of the program...

       -i iface
              Define the network interface to use for UPnP.

       -O /0  Start the OpenHome ohMedia services (esp. PlayList), or not.

       -P port
              Define the IP port to use for UPnP.

       -c configfile
              Use the configuration from configfile. The configuration file
              has a simple name = value format and can set the same values as
              the command line options (with a lower priority). The parameter
              names are mpdhost, mpdport, friendlyname, logfilename, loglevel,
              upnpiface, upnpport. The configuration file can also be used to
              set the MPD password (mpdpassword), and the UPnP IP address
              (instead of interface name, upnpip).
