DeadBeef pipe menu for openbox
As the title says: A pipe menu for controlling DeadBeef.
Usage
Include the following menu element somewhere in your
openbox_menu definition in menu.xml
<menu id="someId" label="someLabel" execute="/path/to/db-pipe.py"/>
Can optionally be supplied a directory containing playlists with the
-p switch.
Functionality
DeadBeef doesn’t really support that many functions from a commandline (unless I missed something). Currently supports
- Playing a playlist (if started with
-p /some/playlist/dir). - Toggle play/pause.
- Go to next song.
- Go to previous song.
- Select random song
- Stop song
Obviously also supports quitting out of deadbeef.
The menu has two different layouts, depending on whether or not deadbeef is currently running.
