A websocket based MPRIS2 "now-playing" / status client.
Main application is embedding a now-playing dock in your streams, but it isn't limited to that.
Written in Rust.
Default bound IP is 127.0.0.1:32100
Iunno, the Media Session doesn't seem to work for us, maybe it uses MPRIS1, we have no idea the difference.
We wanted to have a Now Playing thing in our stream (via OBS) aligned to what's playing in our media player.
Look in /examples.
The returned message from the bound WebSocket address is similar to that of a Media Session JSON.
The JSON looks roughly like:
mediaSession: {
metadata: {
title: string,
artist: string,
album: string,
artwork: {
src: string, // whatever the music app returns, can be a local path
}[],
length: u64, // unit: microseconds, the media's length in time
}
playbackState: "playing" | "paused" | "none",
position: u64 // unit: microseconds, the current playback position
}
You can get it from the websocket stream by default without sending anything special.
If you send in artwork/<index>, the server will respond with the artwork image blob at the index if it is a local file, or the remote link itself, or null if it's been requested already and there isn't a new one.
