Description

When playing music in an external player, (e.g. Spotify, Rhythmbox or VLC) the program should be able to connect to the selected media player and extract the following for the file that is currently playing:

  • Filename
  • Title
  • Artist
  • Album
  • Track number
  • File duration
  • Current timestamp

An associated widget can be created to display said information
