Radiotray-NG MPRIS is a wrapper for Radiotray-NG to add an MPRIS2 interface which integrates well with desktop environments (like GNOME, KDE or XFCE) or desktop independent music player control tools like playerctl.
First, you need a working installation of Radiotray-NG.
Radiotray-NG MPRIS is available on PyPI and can be installed with pip
:
python3 -m pip install radiotray-ng-mpris
Please note that at least Python 3.10 is required (because of its dependency
mpris_server
). You can check your installed Python version with
python3 --version
If your Python version is too old, you don't want to use pip
for the installation or you don't care about Python at
all, you can also download self-contained executables (no Python installation required) for Linux x64 from the releases
page.
If you run an Arch-based system, you can also install Radiotray-NG MPRIS from the AUR:
yay -S radiotray-ng-mpris
In this case, Radiotray-NG will be installed as a package dependency automatically.
Run
radiotray-ng-mpris
on the command line (or any application finder) to start Radiotray-NG and the MPRIS2 integration. Any MPRIS2 control interface should start working with Radiotray-NG immediately.
Exit the application by quitting Radiotray-NG or the wrapper script (press <Ctrl-c>
on the command line).
