C* Music Player media interface daemon
This package provides a remote graphical frontend for the C* Music Player using the MPRIS D-Bus Interface
How it works
cmus
has a remote tool cmus-remote(1) that can control and query cmus
through a socket.
cmusd
takes advantage of this by parsing the status of cmus
on request and sending playback controls to it.
This data is updated twice every second for precision.
- Album art: This is generated and rendered after being extracted by
ffmpeg
- Playback (Next, Previous, Pause, Play, PlayPause, Stop, Seek)
- Hybrid Connection: The daemon can either spawn a
cmus
process within itself or connect to an already active one - Auto logging
The project is written in Native JavaScript NodeJS. Download and install Node.js, NPM.
Via NPM
npm install cmusd -g
