Polybar-Spotify will control playback of other apps when Spotify is closed #19

Closed OBITORASU closed 2 years ago

OBITORASU commented 2 years ago

I was playing around with the scripts and my polybar config when I noticed that the playback modules tend to control the playback of my firefox media when I have spotify closed. This behavior seems unexpected since the playback is only supposed to control the playback of spotify media if and only if spotify is open. The solution is pretty simple, using --player=spotify instead of just spotify for all the playerctl commands gives the expected results. I think the commands should be updated in the polybar config section of the readme. Do let me know your views.

@OBITORASU Hey thanks for pointing this out. Maybe there are some upstream changes in playerctl that have changed the behavior.

I've merged the PR from @amirhossein-ka which adds the change in the polybar config.
