Generic media player status/controls.
This displays "ARTIST - SONG" if music is playing. By left-clicking/right-clicking the displayed text, it will play the previous/next song. Middle-clicking will pause/unpause the song.
Supported players are:
- spotify, vlc, audacious, xmms2, mplayer and others that use MPRIS DBus Interface Specification
- mpd
- cmus
- rhythmbox
mpd is supported through mpc (music player client).
For MPRIS support you need to have playerctl binary in your path. See: https://github.com/acrisci/playerctl
If you leave the instance empty it will try to find an active player used on it's own.
Add the following to your i3blocks config:
[mediaplayer]
command=$SCRIPT_DIR/mediaplayer
instance=spotify
interval=5
signal=10
