##### Downloads:
##### [binary](https://builds2.hrfee.pw/view/hrfee/waybar-mpris) | [aur](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/waybar-mpris-git/)
a waybar component/utility for displaying and controlling MPRIS2 compliant media players individually, inspired by [waybar-media](https://github.com/yurihs/waybar-media).
MPRIS2 is widely supported, so this component should work with:
* Chrome/Chromium
* Firefox (Limited support with `media.hardwaremediakeys.enabled = true` in about:config)
* Other browsers (using KDE Plasma Integration)
* VLC
* Spotify
* Noson
* mpd (with [mpDris2](https://github.com/eonpatapon/mpDris2))
* Most other music/media players
## Install
Available on the AUR as [waybar-mpris-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/waybar-mpris-git/) (Thanks @nichobi!)
Available on my Debian repo as well:
```sh
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install curl apt-transport-https gnupg
curl https://apt.hrfee.dev/hrfee.pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://apt.hrfee.dev trusty-unstable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hrfee.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install waybar-mpris
```
`go get git.hrfee.pw/hrfee/waybar-mpris` will compile from source and install.
You can also download a precompiled binary from [here](https://builds2.hrfee.pw/view/hrfee/waybar-mpris).
## Issues
Stick them on [mpris2client](https://github.com/hrfee/mpris2client) or the [og](https://github.com/hrfee/waybar-mpris) repository (both on github) if you can't make an account here.
## Usage
When running, the program will pipe out json in waybar's format. Add something like this to your waybar `config.json`:
```
"custom/waybar-mpris": {
"return-type": "json",
"exec": "waybar-mpris --position --autofocus",
"on-click": "waybar-mpris --send toggle",
// This option will switch between players on right click.
"on-click-right": "waybar-mpris --send player-next",
// The options below will switch the selected player on scroll
// "on-scroll-up": "waybar-mpris --send player-next",
// "on-scroll-down": "waybar-mpris --send player-prev",
// The options below will go to next/previous track on scroll
// "on-scroll-up": "waybar-mpris --send next",
// "on-scroll-down": "waybar-mpris --send prev",
"escape": true,
},
```
```
Usage of waybar-mpris:
--autofocus Auto switch to currently playing music players.
--interpolate Interpolate track position (helpful for players that don't update regularly, e.g mpDris2)
--order string Element order. (default "SYMBOL:ARTIST:ALBUM:TITLE:POSITION")
--pause string Pause symbol/text to use. (default "\uf8e3")
--play string Play symbol/text to use. (default "▶")
--position Show current position between brackets, e.g (04:50/05:00)
--replace Replace any running instances
--send string send command to already runnning waybar-mpris instance. (options: player-next/player-prev/next/prev/toggle)
--separator string Separator string to use between artist, album, and title. (default " - ")
```
* Modify the order of components with `--order`. `SYMBOL` is the play/paused icon or text, `POSITION` is the track position (if enabled), other options are self explanatory.
* `--play/--pause` specify the symbols or text to display when music is paused/playing respectively.
* `--separator` specifies a string to separate the artist, album and title text.
* `--autofocus` makes waybar-mpris automatically focus on currently playing music players.
* `--position` enables the display of the track position.
* `--interpolate` increments the track position every second. 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.
* `next/prev`: Next/previous track on the selected player.
* `toggle`: Play/pause.
* You can also bind these commands to Media keys in your WM config.
