Simple MPRIS

A minimalist MPRIS media player widget for KDE Plasma 6. I made this because I'm a habitual ricer.

I built this without any idea that plasmusic-toolbar already existed, so if you don't like my applet, check out ccaterina's!

either download this repo as a zip or clone this repo and then either: rename the .zip .plasmoid and run:

kpackagetool6 -i simple-mpris.plasmoid --type Plasma/Applet

or if you cloned the repo

 mv simple-mpris $HOME/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids

then either log out/log back in or kquitapp6 plasmashell && kstart plasmashell

left/right arrow keys to seek -/+ 5 seconds

ctrl+left/right arrow keys to go to previous/next song

up/down arrow keys to increase/decrease volume by 5%

spacebar while in focus to pause/play current song

• text overlay to display current position when updating seek/volume

• Adjustable widget opacity (use mouse scroll up/down while it has focus)

• change the location of the volume %/seek text via the applet's plasma and more via the applet configuration page (Alt+D or right click -> configure simple-mpris)

Resizing the container may look/feel janky, this is actually intended because of how applets are resized in kirigami units, it allows the image to be freely resized while keeping the aspect ratio of the cover art to prevent clipping the exterior container.

However if for whatever reason you want to change it, just change lines 109-110 in contents/ui/main.qml. YTMND.
