More about scripts

Music :

• Requires wmctrl, mpc, playerctl, ffmpeg and jq packages.

• mpd

  • Default mpd music directory is ~/Music in the script. Directory is defined at the top of the script for you to change. (this needed to get artwork)
  • Selecting music icon will open ncmpcpp in terminal
  • Controls default mpc host (will add option to select different host soon)

• Other players

  • Shortcut to Music player, focuses on player window using wmctrl. If fails it'll start new instance of player.
  • Controls music with the help of playerctl.
  • Works with Spotify without any change. Can also support other players compatible with playerctl instructions to add other players are at the top of the music script.

• If you don't want to mount to /mnt type name of the folder and it'll create folder inside /mnt and mount in that folder.
