Top 5 C mpri Projects

playerctl
🎧 mpris media player command-line controller for vlc, mpv, RhythmBox, web browsers, cmus, mpd, spotify and others.
MPRIS is an under-appreciated standard and a great example of how different technologies on the open desktop should integrate with one another.
For example, there's <https://github.com/altdesktop/playerctl>, which can control any MPRIS-compatible client: VLC, web browsers, different music players, mpd (with a plugin), etc.
MPRIS can also be used to e.g. allow controlling playback without unlocking the screen - the screen locker itself doesn't need elaborate support, something as simple as slock could be hacked to recognise a key combo and call out to playerctl; more fancy login managers/lockers could talk DBUS/MPRIS directly and even e.g. display album artwork.
Unfortunately, the standard doesn't seem to specify a simple way to indicate whether video is being played back, which could be a saner way to inform the screen locker; the actual protocol to directly inhibit locking is unfortunately a little bit insane.
Read the spec, there's probably some interesting ideas to explore: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/mpris-spec/latest/

mpris-scrobbler
A minimalistic user daemon to submit the songs you're playing to audioscrobbler services like listenbrainz.org, libre.fm and last.fm.
If linux people are interested in using listenbrainz and can't find a player with plugin for it (usually media players ignore it in favour of last.fm) I developed a generic scrobbler daemon that works well with it (also with libre.fm and last.fm): https://github.com/mariusor/mpris-scrobbler#authenticate-to-...

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 , but there are others.
