Most of Linux based media players, including deadbeef, can be interacted with using MPRIS, a DBus interface, and there are multiple CLIs for sending/extracting information from them. I can recommend you the one I developed: https://github.com/mariusor/mpris-ctl https://github.com/mariusor/mpris-ctl , but there are others.
- cess11 2y agoI understand pipes and forks, I don't understand DBus, so I'll probably keep on shelling out in my personal tools. These days I also rarely use anything else than mpv on full album files and network streams/web radio. Might be useful for someone else though!
- mariusor 2y agoWell, DBus is basically a pipe with typed messages, but I understand. :D
