# Script: player-mpris-tail
|
|
|
|
This script displays the current track and the play-pause status without polling. Information is obtained by listening to MPRIS events, so it is updated instantaneously on change.
|
|
|
|
 
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
* `python-dbus`
|
|
* `python-gobject`
|
|
* `python-gi`
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
The format of the output can be defined by passing an `-f` or `--format` argument. This argument supports metadata replacement using `{tag}` (e.g. `{title}`) as well as more advanced formatting, described below.
|
|
|
|
Players can be blacklisted by passing a `-b` or `--blacklist` argument. As an example, VLC can be blacklisted by passing `-b vlc`. To get a list of the current running players (and their status), run the script as `player-mpris-tail.py list`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
