Player Module

Warning

This module must be built with the player feature enabled in cargo (already done in all pre-compiled releases).
As well as this, you must have dbus installed on your system which requires the systemd init system. You can check this using the "initsys" CrabFetch module.

If your not sure of any of this, just try to use the module anyway as it's highly likely your running these two, as alternatives are typically on power user distros.

The player module displays all your currently playing medias. It creates a new line per player.
Your players must support the "mpris" d-bus standard (most do).
