Enhancement: Integration MPRIS on Linux #16

RicardoEPRodrigues commented 5 years ago

Thank you for this app, first and foremost.

In Linux, more specifically Pop!_OS 18.04 (Ubuntu 18.04 with some tinkering), I would love to see this app integrated with the music player indicator, meaning I would be able to play/pause it with keyboard shortcuts and through the GNOME notifications panel.

MPRIS allows for this in a standard way in Linux

Other Electron applications use or are preparing to use this interface, Museeks, Auryo, and Google Play Music Desktop Player UNOFFICIAL (source files)

Thank you for your time.

Seems like a good idea but I honestly don't see myself doing it anytime soon at least. I'll just leave it here for now in case someone sees it and feels like doing it :)

I'm somewhat involved in all these efforts and I've done major work on mpris-service and the underlying dbus library. I'll try to take a look at this eventually. If anyone picks this up before then, tag me on any issues you have with the implementation and I'll help.
