Quiet flag

[mkaito]

I'm running playerctl in my conky setup. The problem is that it spams my log with "no players found" when none are running. I'd like to have a --quiet option where such status output is supressed.

What about redirecting stderr?

playerctl status 2>/dev/null

For whatever reason, that doesn't seem to work in conky's exec block. Probably doesn't run things in a shell. El 29 de noviembre de 2018 14:26:41 GMT, Tony Crisci <notifications@github.com> escribió:

Oh ok. --quiet normally means to supress all output though, and I don't know if that is really useful. Grep has -s, --no-messages to suppress these kinds of messages which might be a better name for it. I would accept a feature like that if it were done properly.

In the meantime:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# ~/bin/playerctl-quiet.sh
playerctl "$@" 2>/dev/null

Or:

bash -c 'playerctl status 2>/dev/null'

Fixed in #193
