loose collection of scripts related to i3 and i3blocks
mpd_controller
A set of Python scripts to manage mpd (Music Player Daemon). It uses notify-send to display the current song playing with cover art if embeded in the metadata. Is meant to run as a scritp from i3blocks
but can also be called via the media keys on your keyboard.
how to use
The main file is mpd_main.py, called without arguments, it will just output the current status.
The script expects mpd to be running on localhost:6600, and will try to start the daemon
if it looks like it is not running already.
Additionaly the following arguments can be passed:
- toggle: if mpd is playing, it will pause, if is paused it will resume
- next: jump to next song in playlist
- prev: jump to previous song in playlist
Config:
in mpd_main.py edit signal_id to change to the id used in your i3blocks.conf file so the script can be called from anywhere.
Install:
None standard Python dependencies: python-mpd python-mpd2
