waybar-mpris - Man Page

The mpris module displays currently playing media via libplayerctl.

player:
typeof: string
default: playerctld
Name of the MPRIS player to attach to. Using the default value always follows the currently active player.

ignored-players:
typeof: []string
Ignore updates of the listed players, when using playerctld.

interval:
typeof: integer
default: 0
Refresh MPRIS information on a timer.

format:
typeof: string
default: {player} ({status}) {dynamic}
The text format.

format-[status]:
typeof: string
The status-specific text format.

tooltip:
typeof: bool
default: true
Option to disable tooltip on hover.

tooltip-format:
typeof: string
default: {player} ({status}) {dynamic}
The tooltip text format.

tooltip-format-[status]:
typeof: string
The status-specific tooltip format.

artist-len:
typeof: integer
Maximum length of the Artist tag (Wide/Fullwidth Unicode characters count as two). Set to zero to hide the artist in `{dynamic}` tag.

album-len:
typeof: integer
Maximum length of the Album tag (Wide/Fullwidth Unicode characters count as two). Set to zero to hide the album in `{dynamic}` tag.

title-len:
typeof: integer
Maximum length of the Title tag (Wide/Fullwidth Unicode characters count as two). Set to zero to hide the title in `{dynamic}` tag.

dynamic-len:
typeof: integer
Maximum length of the Dynamic tag (Wide/Fullwidth Unicode characters
count as two). The dynamic tag will not truncate any tags beyond their
set length limits, instead, it will attempt to fit as much of the
available tags as possible. It is recommended you set title-len to
something less than or equal to this value, so the title will always be
displayed.

dynamic-order:
typeof: []string
default: ["title", "artist", "album", "position", "length"]
Order of the tags shown by Dynamic tag. The position and length tags
will always be combined in the format [{position}/{length}]. The order
of these tags in relation to other tags will be determined based on the
declaration of the first among the two tags. Absence in this list means
force exclusion.

dynamic-importance-order:
typeof: []string
default: ["title", "artist", "album", "position", "length"]
Priority of the tags when truncating the Dynamic tag. The final ones
will be the first to be truncated. Absence in this list means force
inclusion.

dynamic-separator:
typeof: string
default: " - "
These characters will be used to separate two different tags, except
when one of these tags is position and length.

truncate-hours:
typeof: bool
default: true
Whether to hide hours when media duration is less than an hour long.

enable-tooltip-len-limits:
typeof: bool
default: false
Option to enable the length limits for the tooltip as well. By default, the tooltip ignores all length limits.

ellipsis:
typeof: string
default: "…"
This character will be used when any of the tags exceed their maximum length. If you don't want to use an ellipsis, set this to empty string.

rotate:
typeof: integer
Positive value to rotate the text label.

max-length:
typeof: integer
The maximum length in character the module should display.

min-length:
typeof: integer
The minimum length in characters the module should accept.

align:
typeof: float
The alignment of the label within the module, where 0 is left-aligned and 1 is right-aligned. If the module is rotated, it will follow the flow of the text.

justify:
typeof: string
