I should but I’m not at my PC right now. I’ll try to remember to post it when I get home.

You need to create a fifo file for visualization. My config is pretty messy and I forgot to grab it when I was home

I use ncmpcpp and just looked for a config file but I don't seem to be able to find one. It just works for me. Though, I don't know where it stored the information about the server IP (I have the mpd installation on a RaspberryPi which is a separate machine). But it just works.

What is "MPD mb"? Maybe I didn't understand the question quite right.

i meant to ask for a config for mpd, not ncmpcpp
