Installation

Climplayer runs under sbcl and cmucl on GNU/Linux but might work with other Common Lisp implementations or on other systems. Additionally it requires mcclim, the mcclim listener, split-sequence, cl-ppcre, wget, mplayer, fileschanged and either FAM or Gamin.

Get the latest version either by using Luke Gorrie's clbuild or through the darcs repository:

    darcs get http://common-lisp.net/project/climplayer/darcs/climplayer/

Once ASDF can find the necessary system definitions fire up your favorite Common lisp and type:

    (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :climplayer)

and:

    (climplayer:climplayer)

Usage

Climplayer builds its play list by searching a number of directories you specify the first time you start the program. To make building and updating of the playlist efficient, specify directories which contain mostly media files instead of your home directory which probably contains a large number of subdirectories and files that climplayer doesn't need to be dealing with.
