Implements the MPRIS2 interface for Chromium-based (Chrome, Opera, Brave) and Firefox browsers.
Currently, the following sites are supported with almost all of the capabilities MPRIS2 allows:
Pull requests are welcome.
- First, in the browser, go to
Tools > Extensions(orabout://extensions), enableDeveloper modeandLoad unpacked extension...with the root of this repo. Notice, the extension ID. - Next, place chrome-mpris2 somewhere in your
$PATHand run install-chrome.py giving it the extension ID and optionally the path (not just the directory) of your just-installed chrome-mpris2 (defaults to~/bin/chrome-mpris2). This will check that you have all the dependencies and tell the browser about chrome-mpris2 (so that the plugin can use it). - ???
- Profit
If on GNOME or similar you should be able to take advantage of your new powers immediately. Otherwise, you can use something like playerctl, perhaps bind it to a key or XF86AudioPlay and the like if your keyboard has them.
- plasma-browser-integration
It's more general as it works on
<audio>and<video>elements, though it misses out on some of the more "advanced" capabilities, such as cover art support. - shwsh/web-mpris2 A port of this extension to Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey (and WebSockets).
- Support the (supposedly experimental) Media Session API that sites can use to set metadata. plasma-browser-integration uses where available.
