[SOLVED] ncmpcpp ignoring song list format

draigwen · 2015-09-16 20:42:19

I've been trying to reformat my playlist using a config from dotshare.it and it's being completely ignored and showing the default format no matter what I do.

The config is in .ncmpcpp/config and I'm assuming it's being used as it's playing music from mpd just fine and when I changed the default screen to open on I'm sure that was being picked up.

This is the config file:

 8 mpd_host = localhost
  9 mpd_port = 6600
 10 mpd_connection_timeout = "5"
 11 mpd_crossfade_time = "5"
 12 mpd_music_dir = ~/Music
 13 
 14 
 15  playlist_disable_highlight_delay = "0"
 16  playlist_display_mode = "columns"
 17  browser_display_mode = "columns"
 18  incremental_seeking = "yes"
 19  autocenter_mode = "yes"
 20  header_visibility = "yes"
 21  statusbar_visibility = "yes"
 22  fancy_scrolling = "yes"
 23  follow_now_playing_lyrics = "yes"
 24  display_screens_numbers_on_start = "yes"
 25  ignore_leading_the = "yes"
 26  lyrics_database = "1"
 27  song_columns_list_format = "(10)[blue]{l} (30)[cyan]{a} (30)[blue]{b} (50)[cyan]{t}"    
 28  colors_enabled = "yes"
 29  main_window_color = "blue"
 30  header_window_color = "blue"
 31  volume_color = "cyan"
 32  progressbar_look = "━━╸"
 33 progressbar_color = "cyan"
 34 statusbar_color = "cyan"
 35 color1 = "blue"
 36 color2 = "cyan"
 37 active_column_color = "blue"
 38 active_window_border = "cyan"

Any idea why ncmpcpp isn't picking it up at all?

Thanks.

Um, does it really have the line numbers in it?

Nope, that was just copy-pasting from vim.

It would have been helpful if you pasted the actual config...

Where is the config and what are the permissions on it?

That is the actual config? It's just got line numbers in front because that's how it copied from vim and I couldn't be bothered to delete the line numbers from the front of each line...

As for the location of the config, it's in ~/.ncmpcpp/config and the permissions are 755 (it's actually one of the first things I changed when trying to work out why it's not being picked up).

Looks like I had some errors (some options I hadn't quoted out, and there were some options that were in the config I based this on that aren't in use). Errors fixed and it's now working fine.
