a waybar/general component for displaying current song data in bars like waybar and controling players using MPRIS

Hi there 👋 I do random Shit

nekomc's Issues

Custom song/author name length?

Sometimes we don't want to display a long module in the waybar. Sometimes we have space of a certain size. Before seeing this project, I used playerctl to solve the problem like this:

playerctl metadata --follow --format '{{ status }} {{ trunc(title,8) }} | {{ trunc(artist,8) }}' | sed -u 's/Playing//;s/Paused//;s/ | $//'

And playerctl can use trunc to change the length of the output string. I hope this project will have those options as well.

TODO: Things To add for the Next Versions

• Configurable Text Format and Icons
• Configurable amount of dont_fry_my_cpu
• CLI argument for setting config file
• Configurable Scrolling text
• Option to enable showing the module with Text like "No active Song" when no player is available
