Tricks

Controlling playback using MPRIS D-Bus interface

On minimal systems it might be required to launch the desktop environment or window manager through dbus-launch --exit-with-session (provided by dbus-x11).

Typically you would edit .xinitrc from

exec openbox-session

to

exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session openbox-session

Spotify implements MPRIS interface so commands like these should work:

playerctl --player spotify play-pause
dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.PlayPause
