odesli-cli

CLI client for the Odesli/Songlink API.

This project uses python-odesli for the API calls.

Installation

pip install odesli-cli

From source

Install the PyPI package build:

pip install build

Then (from the root of the repo):

python -m build
pip install dist/*.whl

Sample usages:

Get information on a song by it's url

odesli-cli '{URL}' all

Convert current Spotify track to Tidal link and copy it to the X clipboard (Linux only)

current_spotify="$(qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Metadata | grep xesam:url |  awk '{print $2}')"
odesli-cli "$current_spotify" --provider tidal link | xclip -selection clipboard

Open Tidal, Spotify, etc. links directly in the Spotify app (The coolest one, Linux only)

For this functionality one needs to hack a bit more. I have it all set up with my Linux dofiles, so trust me, it works. Just some key points to make it work:

• Create a shell script that can handle all sorts of http(s) links and set it as the mime default.
• Match Tidal, etc. links, convert them with this tool and play them with qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.OpenUri "{URI}".
• Match Spotify links and play them directly with above command (note that you need to convert the url to a uri in both cases).

If you need additional information don't hesitate to contact me via mail. I haven't tried the dbus command for playing with the Tidal or Deezer apps, but it may work for them in the same fashion.
