MPRIS Control plugin

[MABIY]

albert 0.22.2 not find MPRIS Control plugin ?

[ManuelSchneid3r]

The mpris plugin has become obsolete a long time ago. A lot of plugins are community effort. If the maintainer abandons the plugin it will become unusable over time.

you could go ahead and write one. this is a admittedly buggy prototype provided by gpt:

import dbus
from albert import *

md_iid = '2.0'
md_version = '1.2'
md_name = 'MPRIS Control'
md_description = 'Control media playback using MPRIS'
md_url = 'https://github.com/your-username/your-repo'  # Replace with your repository URL
md_bin_dependencies = []

class Plugin(PluginInstance, GlobalQueryHandler):
    def __init__(self):
        PluginInstance.__init__(self)
        GlobalQueryHandler.__init__(self,
                                     id="mpris_control",
                                     name=md_name,
                                     description=md_description,
                                     default_trigger='mpris ')
        
        self.dbus_session = dbus.SessionBus()
        self.icon_path = iconLookup("media-playback-start")

    def initialize(self):
        self.players = self.get_players()

    def get_players(self):
        try:
            players = self.dbus_session.get_object("org.mpris.MediaPlayer2", "/org/mpris/MediaPlayer2")
            player_names = players.Get("org.mpris.MediaPlayer2", "KnownPlayers", dbus_interface="org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties")
            return player_names
        except dbus.exceptions.DBusException:
            return []

    def handle_global_query(self, query):
        if not query.isValid or not query.string:
            return

        results = []
        for player_name in self.players:
            if query.string.lower() in player_name.lower():
                results.append(self.create_action(player_name))

        return results

    def create_action(self, player_name):
        return Item(
            id=f"mpris_{player_name}",
            text=player_name,
            subtext="Control media playback",
            icon=self.icon_path,
            actions=[
                FuncAction("Play/Pause", lambda player_name=player_name: self.control_media(player_name, "PlayPause")),
                FuncAction("Next", lambda player_name=player_name: self.control_media(player_name, "Next")),
                FuncAction("Previous", lambda player_name=player_name: self.control_media(player_name, "Previous"))
            ]
        )

    def control_media(self, player_name, action):
        try:
            player_obj = self.dbus_session.get_object("org.mpris.MediaPlayer2." + player_name, "/org/mpris/MediaPlayer2")
            player_interface = dbus.Interface(player_obj, "org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player")
            getattr(player_interface, action)()
        except dbus.exceptions.DBusException:
            pass

Closing this because i unfotunately have no time to write this plugin
