I've been getting emails to root@localhost from the at jobs, like:

Running mpv in a terminal, passing --no-terminal suppresses the output, as does adding &>/dev/null For cvlc, even the option -q still outputs a line and only &>/dev/null seems to work. So, possibly amend playa()? https://github.com/BunsenLabs/bunsen-utilities/blob/75be425991a4e25ccf4175d9b5f322eb06956fa1/bin/beepmein#L149-L152

mpv --no-resume-playback --no-video "$file" &>/dev/null
...
cvlc --no-video "$file" vlc://quit &>/dev/null

This branch looks as if it was forked from helium, not lithium. That probably means complications if it is merged directly into the lithium branch.

@brontosaurusrex I wonder if you could make a new fork from the lithium branch, add bin/beepmein to that and raise a new Pull Request? Sorry for the extra work.

EDIT: alternatively I could checkout the single file bin/beepmein from brex into lithium. The new file would be added with a single commit message, though. All your previous commit messages would be lost.

[johnraff]

beepmein has been pulled into the lithium branch as a single file, so now closing this PR. Please post any further issues or PRs referring to bin/beepmein with respect to the version on the lithium branch.

Please do not attempt to merge this branch into lithium - it was forked from helium.
