MPRIS is the spec that Linux desktops use to make players transfer metadata about the thing they are playing and its state.

For example: title, artists, cover art, position, playing/paused, etc…

It doesn’t specify where the metadata should come from, for example the xesam:asText can be populated with lyrics from the metadata embedded in the song file itself, a companion .lrc file or even fetched from lrclib by the player, as long as the player is the one doing the IO and populating it.

Not a lot. The only ones I know of are:

• Supersonic (got my modification upstreamed 🎉)
• fooyin
• Feishin

so yeah, a lot of people wont be able to use it :( tho they still can use one of the many that fetch from lrclib

wdym?

I specifically don’t use AI for questions, just read the docs.

yeah, thinking about it, probably the naming of those isn’t the best, will make sure to change them and use doc comments

tho, I will probably keep the 2 Hz consts (while adding a _HZ in both their names) as they make it easier to understand imo [changed my mind: I guess it is easier if it is just the intervals]

thank u both for actually caring :)

hey, that second one is mine :D

Happy to help <3
