Run multiple instances by attaching to original
Fixes #1. When another instance is detected, a command is sent over the
socket for the original to write to stdout and to a temporary file, which is then
tailed by the new instance. Can be overridden with --replace.

This is useful for players (e.g mpDris2) that don't regularly update the position. +* `--replace`: By default, new instances will attach to the existing one so that the output is identical. This lets this instance replace any others running. It isn't recommended. * `--send` sends commands to an already running waybar-mpris instance via a unix socket. Commands: * `player-next`: Switch to displaying and controlling next available player. * `player-prev`: Same as `player-next`, but for the previous player. |
