This is my lib to help developers work with MPRIS2 and python

See Mpris2 site (http://specifications.freedesktop.org/mpris-spec/2.2/)

Here is some examples, that shows how to work with this lib.

>>> # configure mainloop (not required if you wont expect signals) >>> from dbus.mainloop.glib import DBusGMainLoop >>> DBusGMainLoop(set_as_default=True)

>>> # you can use get_players_uri to get current running players uri >>> from mpris2 import get_players_uri >>> # next raise StopIteration if not found >>> uri = next(get_players_uri())

>>> # create you player >>> from mpris2 import Player >>> player = Player(dbus_interface_info={'dbus_uri': uri})

>>> player.Next() # play next media

>>> print(player.Metadata) #current media data

>>> def another_handler(self, args,*kw): >>> print(args, kw) >>> >>> player.PropertiesChanged = another_handler >>> # python3 >>> import gi.repository.GLib >>> mloop = gi.repository.GLib.MainLoop() >>> mloop.run()

>>> # old versions mainloop >>> import gobject >>> mloop = gobject.MainLoop()

>>> # list all running players >>> from mpris2 import get_players_uri >>> print([uri for uri in get_players_uri()]) >>> # get_players_uri can be called with filter parameter >>> get_players_uri('.+rhythmbox') >>> # you can set it yourself >>> uri = 'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.gmusicbrowser' >>> # or use one predefined >>> from mpris2 import SomePlayers, Interfaces >>> uri = '.'.join([Interfaces.MEDIA_PLAYER, SomePlayers.GMUSICBROWSER])

>>> # test other interfaces >>> from mpris2 import MediaPlayer2 >>> mp2 = MediaPlayer2(dbus_interface_info={'dbus_uri': uri}) >>> # not all players implement this: >>> from mpris2 import Playlists, TrackList >>> pls = Playlists(dbus_interface_info={'dbus_uri': uri}) >>> tl = TrackList(dbus_interface_info={'dbus_uri': uri})
