[Feature Request] Playerctl support #710

Open ZachIndigo opened 3 years ago

ZachIndigo commented 3 years ago

Is your feature request related to a usage problem (not a bug)? Please describe. I have an issue with playerctl, where it does not recognize Freetube, while having no issue with mpd, firefox, etc.

Describe the solution you'd like to see implemented I would like to see support for playerctl, so I can play/pause/skip forwards/backwards with keybindings.

Describe alternatives you've considered I noticed another comment on the issue about MPRIS support, where someone wanted to not have it, so maybe there could be a way to switch it on/off.

If someone wants to implement that, we are open for pull requests. However, it is more likely to first implement hotkeys and keyboard shortcuts inside of FreeTube than for external tools as it was requested multiple times and can be seen here #539
