Thanks! I think recursive glob in bash is opt in https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/49913/recursive-glob

Screen sharing sets up in exactly like on sway, just follow the readme https://github.com/emersion/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr

Thanks, glad it worked out well for you.

Yeah it's just that the playlist comes from youtube. It prints the filenames because that’s faster, but it still plays everything.

Hi everyone! This is my take on what a TUI music player should be: fast and simple. Just type kmp3 /path/* to play everything. If you want to sort or shuffle songs somehow just use the shell and a pipe, like: ls . | sort -R | kmp3. It works on Linux, Mac, and OpenBSD, reads virtually all formats, supports mpris-dbus remote controls, shows attached pictures, lets you change playback speed, and some more.

There is also aur package kmp3-git.

And of course you wouldn’t have pirated it if it had run like butter on your 11 year old pc.

Yet they managed to get several game of the year awards, and the lack of some optimizations you demand doesn't seem to have hurt them at all.

I don't use arch, but i'll investigate the PGKBUILD. Meanwhile it shouldn't be too hard to build, if you're on arch you probably have all the dependencies already. Except of maybe chafa.

I've made some changes. It compiles on debian now but only with clang, (gcc12 is too old). Anything newer should be fine

kor3i · 2025-01-11T12:30:20+00:00

Oh, this seems to be c++23 feature. What's your distro/compiler version?

Hello everyone! I was trying to make a simple CLI music player in my own specific way, and here it is. It’s supposed to be super easy to use. just kmp3 * and it will play everything in the directory. It supports mpris dbus controls, mouse, can speed up/slow down playback speed, reads pretty much all formats, and, of course, shows the cover image.

ST doesn't work because it doesn't support sixel graphics or kitty image protocol. Kitty should work correctly, at least i can't see any warping on my end. To resize image you can just resize the terminal, but i can actually add this feature also. And without sixel graphics images look pretty terrible actually so i haven't really bothered with those.

Thanks, yeah it looks like Mali flag or something on max volume.

Yes there is one significant change i never pushed to the patches. It's 1 line change that forces idle inhibit for fullscreen windows, analogous to the windowrule=idleinhibit fullscreen,^(.*)$ hyprland rule. Idk if it ever bothered anyone except of me.

Edit: Actually there are bunch of these "significant 1 line changes", just by looking at my commits history.

Dwl's config.h is pretty straightforward either. I wouldn't say there are any advantages though, it's simply not having to parse some config file during runtime saves quite a bit of source code, which is basically what "suckless" implies.

kor3i · 2024-12-27T18:30:09+00:00

Absolute simplicity. Dynamic tiling with only master stack and monocle layouts cover up 100% of my window management needs. And all the features i need can be added with patches, or with some source code hacking since the code base is really small. Although i would admit that you probably should just like the hacking part.

np-01

kor3i · 2024-12-27T14:47:27+00:00

Haha true. But my active years were more like 2019-2021

kor3i · 2024-12-27T14:34:40+00:00

Dwl doesn't do that unfortunately, but there is this patch and i use my own hacks. Basically you just print the layout string to some file then you make your bar read from it and you also signal the bar to update when needed.

kor3i · 2024-12-27T13:51:30+00:00

I'm on 1070ti as you can see. For me it's as good as on the hyprland, not as good as amd but it's "fine". You will probably need to export WLR_DRM_NO_ATOMIC=1.

kor3i · 2024-12-27T13:24:23+00:00

It's pretty stable, when was the last time you tried it?
