# PlayerCTL
|
|
|
|
[PlayerCTL](https://github.com/altdesktop/playerctl) is a MPRIS (Media Player
|
|
Remote Interfacing Specification) [media player](/wiki/audio.md#media-software)
|
|
command-line controller for Spotify, [Sonixd](/wiki/subsonic.md#client), MPV and
|
|
many other different media clients aswell as [browser](/wiki/browser.md).
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
On most linux distributions PlayerCTL can be installed with the `playerctl`
|
|
package.
|
|
Alternatively it can be installed via
|
|
[GitHub](https://github.com/altdesktop/playerctl).
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
## Basic Commands
|
|
|
|
For starting, stopping the music the commans are simple and very intuitive.
|
|
The following commands show how to control music.
|
|
The commands are quite self-explaining.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
playerctl play
|
|
playerctl pause
|
|
playerctl play-pause
|
|
playerctl stop
|
|
playerctl next
|
|
playerctl previous
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Using Hotkeys
|
|
|
|
Hotkeys can be more accessible than typing the commands to start or stop music
|
|
in the [terminal](/wiki/system_console.md).
|
|
With [SXHKD](/wiki/linux/sxhkd.md#setting-a-hotkey) commands from the CLI can
|
|
be set to a hotkey.
