Click to pause plugin doesn't show up in Ubuntu Linux

Modify VLC interface?
pause on click isn't supported by VLC natively, mainly because some medias requires mouse support (DVD menus, 360 video, etc...), though you may try this https://github.com/nurupo/vlc-pause-click-plugin if you're feeling adventurous
- Is there anyway to make VLC play like Youtube? (Click on the paused video and it plays?) Without having to click the play button or press the space bar to unpause

A Good Dark Mode For Vlc
There is a plugin for it though: https://github.com/nurupo/vlc-pause-click-plugin (Not trying to justify VLCs design, just thought you might not know about this yet)

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

How to control current MPRIS client with bluetooth?

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

mpsyt + cvlc, control via shortcuts
VLC (and therefore cvlc as well, I suppose) can be controlled via MPRIS (using playerctl, for example).

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.
