NAME

waybar - MPRIS module

DESCRIPTION

The mpris module displays currently playing media via libplayerctl.

CONFIGURATION

player:
    typeof: string
    default: playerctld
    Name of the MPRIS player to attach to. Using the default value always follows the currently active player.

ignored-players:
    typeof: []string
    Ignore updates of the listed players, when using playerctld.

interval:
    typeof: integer
    default: 0
    Refresh MPRIS information on a timer.

format:
    typeof: string
    default: {player} ({status}) {dynamic}
    The text format.

format-[status]:
    typeof: string
    The status-specific text format.

tooltip:
    typeof: bool
    default: true
    Option to disable tooltip on hover.

tooltip-format:
    typeof: string
    default: {player} ({status}) {dynamic}
    The tooltip text format.

tooltip-format-[status]:
    typeof: string
    The status-specific tooltip format.

artist-len:
    typeof: integer
    Maximum length of the Artist tag (Wide/Fullwidth Unicode characters count as two). Set to zero to hide the artist in `{dynamic}` tag.

album-len:
    typeof: integer
    Maximum length of the Album tag (Wide/Fullwidth Unicode characters count as two). Set to zero to hide the album in `{dynamic}` tag.

title-len:
    typeof: integer
    Maximum length of the Title tag (Wide/Fullwidth Unicode characters count as two). Set to zero to hide the title in `{dynamic}` tag.

dynamic-len:
    typeof: integer
    Maximum length of the Dynamic tag (Wide/Fullwidth Unicode characters
    count as two). The dynamic tag will not truncate any tags beyond their
    set length limits, instead, it will attempt to fit as much of the
    available tags as possible. It is recommended you set title-len to
    something less than or equal to this value, so the title will always be
    displayed.

dynamic-order:
    typeof: []string
    default: ["title", "artist", "album", "position", "length"]
    Order of the tags shown by Dynamic tag. The position and length tags
    will always be combined in the format [{position}/{length}]. The order
    of these tags in relation to other tags will be determined based on the
    declaration of the first among the two tags. Absence in this list means
    force exclusion.

dynamic-importance-order:
    typeof: []string
    default: ["title", "artist", "album", "position", "length"]
    Priority of the tags when truncating the Dynamic tag. The final ones
    will be the first to be truncated. Absence in this list means force
    inclusion.

dynamic-separator:
    typeof: string
    default: " - "
    These characters will be used to separate two different tags, except
    when one of these tags is position and length.

truncate-hours:
    typeof: bool
    default: true
    Whether to hide hours when media duration is less than an hour long.

enable-tooltip-len-limits:
    typeof: bool
    default: false
    Option to enable the length limits for the tooltip as well. By default, the tooltip ignores all length limits.

ellipsis:
    typeof: string
    default: "…"
    This character will be used when any of the tags exceed their maximum length. If you don't want to use an ellipsis, set this to empty string.

rotate:
    typeof: integer
    Positive value to rotate the text label.

max-length:
    typeof: integer
    The maximum length in character the module should display.

min-length:
    typeof: integer
    The minimum length in characters the module should accept.

align:
    typeof: float
    The alignment of the label within the module, where 0 is left-aligned and 1 is right-aligned. If the module is rotated, it will follow the flow of the text.

justify:
    typeof: string
    The alignment of the text within the module's label, allowing options 'left', 'right', or 'center' to define the positioning.

on-click:
    typeof: string
    default: play-pause
    Overwrite default action toggles.

on-click-middle:
    typeof: string
    default: previous track
    Overwrite default action toggles.

on-click-right:
    typeof: string
    default: next track
    Overwrite default action toggles.

player-icons:
    typeof: map[string]string
    Allows setting {player-icon} based on player-name property.

status-icons:
    typeof: map[string]string
    Allows setting {status-icon} based on player status (playing, paused, stopped).
