slimpris2

slimpris2 provides MPRIS 2 remote control of Lyrion Music Server, allowing it to be controlled using the user interface integrated into your Linux desktop.

slimpris2 is run in the user session and monitors a local or distant squeezeboxserver.

Installation

Fedora

dnf copr enable mavit/slimpris2
dnf install slimpris2

From source

git clone https://github.com/mavit/slimpris2.git
cd slimpris2
./autogen.sh
./configure --sysconfdir=/etc
make
sudo make install

Ensure that you have GLib, Gio, and Soup-3.0 installed.

Set-up

Enable and start the service with:

systemctl --user enable --now slimpris2

Configuration

By default, slimpris2 will auto-discover LMS on the local network. To set a specific host or port, copy the example configuration file /usr/[local]/share/doc/slimpris2/slimpris2.conf to ~/.config/slimpris2/slimpris2.conf.

If you have more than one non-synced player attached to your LMS, youʼll also want to specify the name or MAC address of the particular player you want to control.

Restart your session or slimpris2 after changing slimpris2.conf.
