QUESTION

Is it possible to create a browser based html/javascript audio player, that handles most of the MPRIS commands?

Asked 2022-Feb-12 at 09:09

I am trying to create a music player, that can handle most of the MPRIS commands.

During youtube is playing, playerctl list the firefox player (firefox.instance{id}), and if it has playlist then I can skip to previous / next item using $ playerctl -p firefox.instance{id} next. This works in chrome too.

I want to implement the same behavior in a React.js application, but first I'm looking for a html/javascript based solution.

One of my guesses that this is impossible (without using a browser add-on), because firefox implements this manually for each supported website.

Maybe I did something wrong, but no matter what I search for I couldn't find any information about this.

Thanks for reading / commenting!

Media Session API seems to solve this problem pretty well: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Media_Session_API

This event listener runs every time $ playerctl -p firefox.instance{id} next is run (or when any other MPRIS client calls 'next', like KDE connect on android):

To be sure the metadata is using proper UTF-8 encoding, you can filter the output of playerctl with iconv -ct UTF-8//TRANSLIT:

QUESTION

Sort workspaces numerically

Asked 2020-Dec-09 at 22:45

I'm using XMonad in combination with xmobar, and I'm having an issue with workspaces displayed on xmobar not being sorted numerically. Because workspace ID's are ultimately strings, they get sorted lexicographically. So, provided that I have 12 workspaces, they are sorted as 1 10 11 12 3 4 5 6 7 8 9, instead of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12. I think marshallPP is the culprit because prior to introducing independent screens, the workspaces were displayed correctly without ppSort. I know there is mkWsSort that creates a sorting function from a comparison function, however, I'm not sure how would I write the comparison function. This is my config:

Answered 2020-Dec-09 at 22:45

You can see that the type signature of mkWsSort is X WorkspaceCompare -> X WorkspaceSort. ppSort needs a X WorkspaceSort, so you just need to provide a X WorkspaceCompare. WorkspaceCompare is an alias for WorkspaceId -> WorkspaceId -> Ordering, and WorkspaceId is an alias for String. So basically, this is just a long-winded path to say you need a string comparison function. You can make one that compares strings by trying to read them into Ints first, then comparing the two:

I think it's a Lua version issue. I don't know the specifics, but it runs fine on Lua 5.3 and 5.4 - wheras within LuaJIT, Lua 5.1 and 5.2 you see the same lack of artist and song art that you mention. Do you happen to know what version of Lua your AwesomeWM is compiled against?

QUESTION

MPRIS integration with Python or VLC-Python

Asked 2020-Sep-11 at 19:55

Does anybody know of an easy module to interact with MPRIS and write metadata to it? I'm trying to get a music player working with the OS, and I'm using VLC [python-vlc] as it's backend. If you can help me out find any module that allows me to easily write metadata, thanks.

Modules I've tried:

playerdo - Only reads metadata
playerctl - Only reads metadata
modipy-mpris - Doesn't work
mpris-server - Breaks constantly and generally a pain to set up
vidify - Not what I've wanted

VLC docs: https://www.olivieraubert.net/vlc/python-ctypes/doc/index.html

NOTE: This is not what my player looks like, this is KDE's Applet allowing me to see what is playing. I'm sure windows has something similar, but the most important thing is I need to be able to play and pause music from anywhere in the OS with the play/pause button on my keyboard or bluetooth device

Example of output: KDE Plasma Applet

Use MPRIS-SERVER but read the issues. Still a pain to set up but at least it works properly.
