mediaplayer

Generic media player status/controls.

Example screenshot

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.

Installation

Add the following to your i3blocks config:

[mediaplayer]
command=$SCRIPT_DIR/mediaplayer
instance=spotify
interval=5
signal=10
