Let's Linux
I create a hook-module in polybar that will display information about the currently playing media. I start in this video to display information from cmus, the music player i did set up in the previous video.
the files used in this video can be found on github:
https://github.com/budlabs/youtube/tr...
This is the second video in a series on how to enjoy media in i3wm.
In later videos in this series I will glue this functions to the videoplayer mpv, and by doing so we can use the same hookmodule and keybindings for both of our mediaplayers!
video info:
color scheme: Gruvbox Light, by morhertz https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox

The path to the example cmus-status script is:
/usr/share/doc/cmus/examples/cmus-status-display
Place the cmus-status script in your path and then set the following setting in cmus:
:set status_display_program=polymediatitle
polybar module

[module/mediatitle]
type = custom/ipc
hook-0 = cat ~/polymediaoutput
