Audio:...::Time(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Audio::MPD::Common::Time — the lil class that holds the time of the song currently playing 🎵 straight outta the User Contributed Perl Documentation, filed under Audio:...::Time(3pm) iykyk 💅

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 2.003 — that's the one, bestie, no cap ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so. Audio::MPD::Common::Status hands you some time info through the time() accessor. That info is about how much of the current song has already played, plus how much is left, plus the total. All of it gets wrapped up inside an Audio::MPD::Common::Time object 🎀

major heads up tho: an Audio::MPD::Common::Time object does not update itself regularly. It's a snapshot, not a livestream, so it should be used immediately 😭

Note: bestie, one should never ever instantiate an Audio::MPD::Common::Time object directly — use the mpd modules instead. periodt. 🫶

👑 ATTRIBUTES 👑

$time->time;

The time passed to the constructor, and the one everything else is computed from (see the methods below, they're all obsessed with it). It's the time value sitting on the "time" line of what the MPD server returns to the status command. Defaults to "0:0" 🌈
