PidgiMPD is a 
plugin for
monitoring/controlling MPD.
Documentation
Er, well, I'm not very big on documentation so here goes.
PidgiMPD can do both automatic and manual tasks. The manual tasks are handled via the command /mpc in conversation windows. Help about that command can be found using the parameter help.
The automatic tasks are:
- Automatically set away message to user defined string OR set Pidgin TUNE status, if available. (TUNE status is supported in MSNP14 and Jabber)
- Automatically send currently playing song information to users in active conversations.
The syntax of the messages which can be user configured is outlined below.
Placeholders in song markup
