Idle & Lock screen configuration in nwg-shell
The latest nwg-shell-config update brings a new tab, to configure idle and lock screen settings. Under the hood, it provides the nwg-lock command, which is a wrapper around gtklock or swaylock. It adds a random image background, either local, or downloaded from https://unsplash.com. You may also display an overlay window to control mpris media player with playerctl.

Is it possible to use terminal or ncurses output elsewhere?
Yes it would be possible to pipe the output into a script/program and parse it to extract the information, but in my opinion not the best solution. Instead you can query information from media players that support MPRIS https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/MPRIS via tools like playerctl https://github.com/altdesktop/playerctl

Is there an easy way to Pause media over ssh?
I think both firefox and vlc support MPRIS, which can be controlled from the command line using playerctl, if you have that installed: ssh name@host playerctl play-pause

What are some of your self made scripts that you're proud of
My super-duper simple playerctl script that works flawlessly for years to prioritize my media keys to work on Spotify or ncspot over anything else. If I'm listening to Spotify or ncspot, why do I need to control any other stuff with my media keys, right?! Without it, if I have any other mpris player open, which can be a lot of things some not even related to media, my keyboard media keys won't focus on the music players I use for actually listening to music. ncspot doesn't respond to playerctl --player=ncspot play-pause, so I have to detect if it is playing or paused, so I can run playerctl --player=ncspot play or playerctl --player=ncspot pause separately. Script.

Making the full title for media not get cut off in the Notifications List?
Mpris Indicator Button is pretty cool too, but seems to lack a hot key to display it.

Gnome 43.1 Released on Arch
I also use the mpris indicator extension myself and that particular dev uses Fedora (or sometimes Ubuntu), and they've said in the past they can't update the extension until Gnome 43 hits, so since Fedora is still delayed to mid-November, that extension won't be officially updated just yet. But if you check their GitHub they have a "crude" master update for Gnome 43 you can use if you really want to, but just know it's not release ready yet.
- Extension like this one that works with gnome 42?

Is there a way to move media-controls from the message tray to the top bar?
There are at least two extensions which do that (for Gnome 40): MPRIS Indicator Button and Media Controls.

Inadequate/Missing MPRIS Support on Waterfox G3?
Since Waterfox is based on Firefox and the MPRIS implementation of the latter seems optimal I suppose something is "missing"(?) in Waterfox sourcecode, I use the "MPRIS Indicator Button" GNOME shell extension and it's always worked flawlessly with Firefox but it never did with Waterfox .
