does this work with playerctl? cuz i cant get it to work… i tried compiling it myself, or from the aur, but it doesnt seem to do anything. i set up the systemd service as the instructions say and i got the green light from systemctl status, so idk whats wrong. i dont see moc listed as a player in playerctl -l

Works fine for me... What is the output of /usr/lib/moc-mpris/moc_mpris.sh?

This indicates that there is no instance of moc playing music.

i see turning on a song in moc, and then running /usr/lib/moc-mpris/moc_mpris.sh does make it work

is there a way to make it automatically run when a song starts? or keep it running in the background while moc is running? like by doing something like alias mocp="mocp & /usr/lib/moc-mpris/moc_mpris.sh"?

also, the moc_mpris service makes no difference whether its running or not. it works just fine without it

If you want to run the script in background to auto-detect moc, just enable the service. It does exactly this: restarting the script until moc is found.

I'll just note that this means the project has a hard dependency on systemd.
