# Mpris
Library and CLI tool for interacting and monitoring media players
exposing an mpris interface through dbus.
An alternative for [playerctl](https://github.com/altdesktop/playerctl) that better integrates
with astal.
## Installation
1. install dependencies
:::code-group
```sh [<i class="devicon-archlinux-plain"></i> Arch]
sudo pacman -Syu meson vala json-glib gobject-introspection
```
```sh [<i class="devicon-fedora-plain"></i> Fedora]
sudo dnf install meson gcc valac json-glib-devel gobject-introspection-devel
```
```sh [<i class="devicon-ubuntu-plain"></i> Ubuntu]
sudo apt install meson valac libjson-glib-dev gobject-introspection
```
:::
2. clone repo
```sh
git clone https://github.com/aylur/astal.git
cd astal/lib/mpris
```
3. install
```sh
meson setup build
meson install -C build
```
:::tip
Most distros recommend manual installs in `/usr/local`,
which is what `meson` defaults to. If you want to install to `/usr`
instead which most package managers do, set the `prefix` option:
```sh
meson setup --prefix /usr build
```
:::
## Usage
You can browse the [Mpris reference](https://aylur.github.io/libastal/mpris).
### CLI
```sh
astal-mpris --help
```
### Library
:::code-group
```js [<i class="devicon-javascript-plain"></i> JavaScript]
import Mpris from "gi://AstalMpris"
const spotify = Mpris.Player.new("spotify")
if (spotify.available)
print(spotify.title)
```
```py [<i class="devicon-python-plain"></i> Python]
from gi.repository import AstalMpris as Mpris
spotify = Mpris.Player.new("spotify")
if spotify.get_available():
print(spotify.get_title())
```
```lua [<i class="devicon-lua-plain"></i> Lua]
local Mpris = require("lgi").require("AstalMpris")
local spotify = Mpris.Player.new("spotify")
if spotify.available then
print(spotify.title)
end
```
