Control Every Media Player on Linux with Playerctl!

[@Lysquid]

Your channel is an invaluable resource to config my system, it shows me what a good config looks like with an explanation, something that I don't get by going through the arch wiki or users' dotfiles Thank you

[@EricMurphyxyz]

Thanks, glad that you find it useful!

[@naimneman4216]

Thank you so much! I've just switched to I3 and was a little bit afraid of how to manage the config file but this way is a lot cleaner and more straight forward. Very concise and helpful 👍👍

[@caranguejo2269]

THANK YOU I SEARCHED FOR THIS FOR SO LONG

[@arish_shah]

Love your videos Eric.

he's back!

I made a shitty script to do this some months ago, i can't believe i didn't find out about the daemon until now. Thank you!!

[@EricMurphyxyz]

Same, I was using some weird hack for the longest time when I could have just used this

[@j_rryplays8038]

i did not know this daemon existed! this is very useful info, thank you! glad youre back

[@EricMurphyxyz]

Glad you learned something new, the daemon makes it so much more useful

[@Lysquid]

Exactly what is needed on my new arch/i3, it can't be a coincidence

[@EricMurphyxyz]

I read your mind and then uploaded this video to help you

[@iv4nt37]

Hi, just a month ago I started to mess a little with linux and WM, and your content has been so helpful for me I love the format of the video, pretty simple and straight foward content and always a starting guide to make things that others just consider like you already know. Now I'm messing with eww trying to create widgets, have you tried to use it yet? It's well documented but still pretty confusing and theres not that much guides about it

[@EricMurphyxyz]

Thanks! I have never heard of eww before but I'll add it to the list of things to check out.

I prefer non-bald luke smith

[@lucasmarin4040]

Wow, i was actually searching for something like this a few days ago. Do you know if this allows you to control your music via bluetooth? Loving your content!

[@EricMurphyxyz]

As long as you're listening to one of the supported media players with Bluetooth, it should work just fine

[@psi4j]

My dude, I knew it would be you to give me the solution to this.

[@sys7emH4cked]

Which Spotify client you are using dude. And thanks for this pretty helpful information.

[@EricMurphyxyz]

spotify-adblock from the AUR. It's basically the spotify desktop application without the ads. I've heard of some terminal spotify clients but I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble

[@sys7emH4cked]

@@EricMurphyxyz Thanks for replying my question 😇.

[@Auguste86]

if i can use it for mpd i'd def add to polybar, but already have an mpd script

[@EricMurphyxyz]

It works for mpd as well, add it to your polybar

[@cosmick9]

Please post a paste or gist of the sxhkdrc script you were using

[@EricMurphyxyz]

It's in the dotfiles in my Github, link in the description, under .config/sxhkd
