playerctl doesn't recognize mpd #255

Apopheosis commented 2 years ago

The player I am using is mpd.

Playerctl works with spotify, but doesn't recognize mpd for some reason.

playerctl -l outputs "no players found"

dbus-send --session --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus --type=method_call --print-reply /org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames method return time=1635719233.142468 sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> destination=:1.6492 serial=3 reply_serial=2 outputs:

You need the mpd mpris plugin for it to work.

Thanks, it works now, but mpd-mpris now occupies the whole terminal while working. Is it possible to make it start by default when using playerctl?

Yeah look at their documentation.
