💖 PLAYERCTLD(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the playerctld page — User Commands, section 1, and yes she's that girl. sit down, hydrate, let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

playerctld — maintain an ordered list of controllable media players for playerctl

like, she keeps your players in a line. in order. iconic behavior fr fr.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

playerctld [OPTION] COMMAND
playerctld --help

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically, playerctld runs as a user-controlled daemon, and what she does is monitor controllable media players for playerctl — and she tracks them in the order that they are started. first come, first in the list, no cap 👑

and because she's keeping that ordered list, she lets you navigate forwards and backwards through the list of available media players. how? with the shift and unshift commands. that's the whole vibe. main character energy, honestly 💅

🎀 COMMANDS 🎀

  • daemon — start playerctld as a daemon. yes, she's moving in. she lives here now 🏠
  • shift — shift to next controllable player ⏭️
  • unshift — unshift to previous controllable player ⏮️

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h, --help — show usage details and exit. the classic "wait what does this do again" button, we've all been there 🙈
