Minimalistic *Sonic Music Player

Recently, I installed an Airsonic server to stream music for free. But I didn't find any good TUI music player for Linux that supports *sonic for my rice (something like CMus with *sonic support). So I decided to create a very simple one on my own, using HTTPDirFS, Mpv and Bash. Enjoy! There is a simple floating picture of the album cover on button-right of the screen (right click to pause/resume, scroll to go back and forward.) Msmu is currently at very early development stages and it is not designed for simple users.

Install

1. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/AmitGoren/msmu.git.
2. cd msmu, edit src/init.sh and put your actuall username, password and server url there.
3. ./build.sh
4. Copy the filemsmu into your bin folder. You now may want to integrate msmu with your rice.

Usage/Integration

You should initialize msmu using msmu init at login. In order to stop msmu (also when logging out), use msmu quit. Also, you should stop your WM from managing mpv windows. I recommend you to bind some of these commands to your keyboard.

msmu append "<song>"

msmu current

msmu getpid

msmu init

msmu list <artists/albums/songs> [artist]

Lists all the avilable artists, albums and songs, optionally by a specific artist.

Play a song immediately, stopping current one and deleting the queue.
