[FR] Change Application Name to make tidal unique in pipewire
Zombiefleischer opened this issue · comments
Can you change the application name, so pipewire can differentiate this Chromium application from the others, so that I can assign Tidal to another Audio interface? I'm using the goxlr and I want tidal to be separate on my music channel. Atm when I change this application's output to 'GoXLR Music' every Chromium application after that also change to 'GoXLR Music' and vice versa. As far as I know, Spotify is also just an Electron app, and it differentiates to other applications.
The output of pw-cli:

We've tried several things to remove the chrome instance but none of them seem to work all too well. You can also disable the chromium instance explicitly:
--disable-features=MediaSessionService
You can then enable the mpris settings in the settings menu and that'll give you a media instance called "tidal-hifi" which you can modify separately.
I tried, and it still shows up as Chromium input or Chormium [Playback] in qpwgraph. Do you know any way to refer to application.process.binary = "tidal-hifi" in pw scripts and change the output through that?
@Zombiefleischer, I have no idea about anything pipewire, to be honest, I just installed it last week but am not doing anything advanced with routing.
When I start playing, using playerctl I have a dedicated entry for tidal-hifi, instead of chromium:
What does your playerctl show?
My playerctl list this:
❯ playerctl -l
firefox.instance_1_91
tidal-hifi
But as far as I can see, I cannot change the output device.
Weird, so the changes for playerctl seems to work.
Well yeah, no clue how to help further, sorry!
Still thank you for your time :)
@Zombiefleischer, no worries! I try my best!
