apparently the MPRIS standard is basically dead? idk i saw someone say there's been no updates even though people have been posting issues there lol

#MPRIS #Linux

Odio, como buen usuario de #Gnome, las inconsistencias o cosas que sobran en mi escritorio.

Un ejemplo de ello es cuando escucho un audio en #Karere (cliente web de Whatsapp en GTK4) y lo cierro (se queda en segundo plano) y el puto reproductor #MPRIS se me queda permanente en las notificaciones.

No sé si es un fallo de la aplicación o un defecto o decisión de diseño de las notificaciones MPRIS. Ni idea, pero me toca la moral.

MPRIS is a neat mechanism that allows media players to communicate what is playing and provide playback controls.

Unfortunately, this was not working in the snap version of celluloid, a mpv + GTK media player.

After some digging around (and grepping dbus-monitor), I discovered a quick fix:

https://codeberg.org/sameersharma2006/celluloid-snap/pulls/12

Basically, rename the DBUS path to something allowed by the snap appamour profile.

I happy to say that the change worked and is now merged!

One thing that bothered me since some time is that for switching between different 🎶 players required to🔓 the 📱 .

So e.g. pausing #gnome podcasts to listen to music via #gapless needed ever so many steps. I've thus added a lockscreen plugin to #phosh that tracks all currently running media players that use #mpris and allows to interact with them.

This is all pretty rough still but I can hopefully brush it up for 0.48 (https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/merge_requests/1729).

TIL that media players, even the web browsers, can be controlled with hardware media keys via the MPRIS interface (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/MPRIS)

For example, Firefox supports hardware media keys by default. In Audacious the "MPRIS 2 Server" plugin should be enabled.

Both of them can be controlled by a small utility called playerctl (https://github.com/altdesktop/playerctl) from any DE/WM, even i3 (see for example playerctl.sh in https://codeberg.org/evgandr/dotfiles/commit/e3aa94febf1a4775ffcea26713334e398794ed5b)

New Linux Timer App Uses MPRIS in an Ingenious Way

MPRIS is something most of us associate with music apps and movie players, but a new app makes use of this freedesktop standard for something less entertaining: timers. Yes, timers. Timing your pizza in the oven, setting a deadline for a task, dedicating time to a hobby, or obsessively counting down to a date (figurative or romantic), MPRIS Timer does it just as well as anything else – with a twist: it shows your timer using MPRIS. MPRIS stands for ‘Media Player Remote Interfacing Specification’. It is a Freedesktop standard that gives app makers an accessible, consistent API to target
