Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

Playerctl is a command-line utility and library for controlling media players that implement the MPRIS D-Bus Interface Specification. Playerctl makes it easy to bind player actions, such as play and pause, to media keys. You can also get metadata about the playing track such as the artist and title for integration into statusline generators or other command-line tools. For more advanced users, Playerctl provides an introspectable library available in your favorite scripting language that allows more detailed control like the ability to subscribe to media player events or get metadata such as artist and title for the playing track. Examples of players implementing the MPRIS D-Bus Interface Specification include vlc, mpv, RhythmBox, web browsers, cmus, mpd, spotify and others.
