Control MPRIS2 compatible music players from Emacs
WIP
- Linux distro using systemd/dbus
- emp-mode installed in your Emacs distribution
In your .emacs file:
(require 'emp)
(setq mpris-service "org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.X")where X is a string that corresponds to the name of the
music player you want to control. Below is a table of common Linux
music players and their respective names as far as DBus is concerned:
| Player Name | DBus name |
|---|---|
| Rhythmbox | rhythmbox |
| Spotify-Linux | spotify |
| Amarok | amarok |
First, launch your music application
(Rhythmbox/Amarok/Spotify-Linux/etc). Queuing music is not supported
in emp-mode, so you will need to start some music playing through the
music player's interface.
Then, in any emacs buffer, load up the minor mode with M-x emp-mode.
From there, use the interactive functions:
| Command | Default Binding | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| emp-next | M-p n |
Plays next song |
| emp-prev | M-p p |
Plays previous song |
| emp-toggle | M-p m |
Toggles play/pause |
| emp-play | M-p i |
Plays current song |
| emp-pause | M-p u |
Pauses music player |
| emp-stop | M-p s |
Stops music player |
| emp-volume-up | None | Raise volume by 10% |
| emp-volume-down | None | Lower volume by 10% |
