🎶This polybar module displays mpris-enabled media information on your device. Besides, it use zscroll to display information in a small place.

🤗 Many ideas and codes come from PrayagS/polybar-spotify, thanks a lot!

  • player switch(Just click the left icon to open)
    player-switch

Dependencies

  • zscroll: To scroll the fetched text
  • rofi: To provide player switch
  • icomoon font family: To provides icon fonts on polybar. You can replace the icon in the code to remove the dependency.

Config

  • move /mpris to ~/.config/polybar/scripts/
  • add modules in config.ini
    modules-left = mrpis-control mrpis-prev mrpis-play-pause mrpis-next mrpis-process mrpis-status
  • add modules config
    [module/mrpis-control]
    
    type = custom/script
    exec = ~/.config/polybar/scripts/mpris/mpris_control.sh --icon
    format = <label>
    click-left = ~/.config/polybar/scripts/mpris/mpris_control.sh --select
    scroll-up = ~/.config/polybar/scripts/mpris/mpris_control.sh --vc 0.05+
    scroll-down = ~/.config/polybar/scripts/mpris/mpris_control.sh --vc 0.05-
    
    [module/mrpis-status]
    
    type = custom/script
    tail = true
    interval = 1
    ; prefix symbol is shown before the text
    format = <label>
    exec = ~/.config/polybar/scripts/mpris/scroll.sh
    scroll-up = ~/.config/polybar/scripts/mpris/mpris_control.sh --vc 0.05+
    scroll-down = ~/.config/polybar/scripts/mpris/mpris_control.sh --vc 0.05-
    
    [module/mrpis-prev]
    type = custom/script
    exec = echo ""
    format = <label>
    click-left = ~/.config/polybar/scripts/mpris/mpris_control.sh --previous
    
    [module/mrpis-play-pause]
    type = custom/script
    exec = echo ""
    format = <label>
    click-left = ~/.config/polybar/scripts/mpris/mpris_control.sh --playpause
    
    [module/mrpis-next]
    type = custom/script
    exec = echo ""
    format = <label>
    click-left = ~/.config/polybar/scripts/mpris/mpris_control.sh --next
    
    [module/mrpis-process]
    type = custom/script
    tail = true
    interval = 1
    ; prefix symbol is shown before the text
    format = <label>
    exec = ~/.config/polybar/scripts/mpris/mpris_control.sh --process
    scroll-up = ~/.config/polybar/scripts/mpris/mpris_control.sh --vc 0.05+
    scroll-down = ~/.config/polybar/scripts/mpris/mpris_control.sh --vc 0.05-

Customize

  • You can replace the icons on polybar, two good website to choose icons are: Nerd Fonts, FontAwsome. Always be aware that you are using an available font family
  • You can add lyrics display just copy modify the mrpis-status module. This requires the player to write the lyrics to metadata.someattribute (although this may not be language compliant)
  • For YesPlayMusic user, I recommend to use the polybar-yesplaymusic-lyrics to show lyrics on polybar
