Cmustify

What is cmustify? This is a cmus notifier that shows the current song into notifications using notify2.

Why?

I would like to improve the current solutions. Also, it's always nice to do things by ourselves.

todo

• Finish the usage info
• Better support for internet radios stream
• Fetch albums image from google (useful for internet radios)

Requirements

• notify2

Install

1. Clone the repository into the .cmus folder in your home directory. You can use .config/cmus folder as well.

git clone https://github.com/kimond/cmustify.git ~/.cmus/

2. Make cmustity.py and status_display_program.sh executable.

chmod +x cmustity.py status_display_program.sh

3. Set the status_display_program variable in cmus.

:set status_display_program=/home/user/.cmus/cmustify/status_display_program.sh

4. Save configs in cmus. This is important to avoid having set the variable every times you start cmus.

:save

Usage

cmus will send notifications by itself.
