uLauncher music player controller extension for linux

[Still in development]

Install

Open uLauncher preferences window -> extensions -> add extension and paste the following url: https://github.com/Dankni95/ulauncher-playerctl

Install Dependencies

Playerctl might not come preinstalled on your system, so you might have to

sudo apt install playerctl

sudo pacman -S playerctl

sudo dnf install playerctl

sudo zypper install playerctl

depending on your distro

Start up

Start uLauncher and type m.

Development

Git clone this repo.

In repo folder do make link to create symlink to ulauncher extensions folder.

Close uLauncher and run make dev and follow instructions in terminal.

You will get code that looks something like this:

VERBOSE=1 ULAUNCHER_WS_API=ws://127.0.0.1:5054/com.github.dankni95.ulauncher-playerctl PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages /bin/python /home/daniel/.local/share/ulauncher/extensions/com.github.dankni95.ulauncher-playerctl/main.py

Paste it in new terminal window and run keyword m in uLauncher. Happy coding!

This is one of my first python projects, in advance sorry for the spaghetti code!
