Flags

• -p, --port: mpc-hc port to connect to (default: 13579)

• -r, --raw: display only the filename without fanart or filename-parsed metadata
• --nocover: attempt to parse filename for metadata without fanart

Disclaimer

Media and fanart detection is done through the fanart.tv api. mpcrp might display irrelevant data, as it is impossible to 100% identify the correct media based on the filename alone.

eg: a video named cat.mp4 will be assumed to be Cat Planet Cuties as it is the first entry on fanart.tv that has a poster and is a tv show or a movie.

If fanart.tv does not recognize the filename, mpcrp will only display the filename along with basic metadata.
