About kmpc

kmpc is a Kivy-based mpd client, primarily meant for use on a Raspberry Pi paired with the official 7” touchscreen mounted in a car. Using a combination of a fast-booting distro with Kivy installed (such as KivyPie), it is possible to have music playing in a few seconds after boot, and a GUI touch interface ready to use in a few seconds more. kmpc is meant to run directly on the framebuffer, with no need for X.

Full documentation can be found on ReadTheDocs.

Runtime requirements

kmpc depends on the following python packages:

In addition, there must be an mpd server running that kmpc can connect to via TCP.
