# RSPlayer is a daemon driven CLI music player with scrobbling written in rust

## Installation
```
git clone https://codeberg.org/salmonik/RSPlayer.git
cd RSPlayer
./install.sh
```

install.sh will:  
- compile RSP (make sure you have rust properly installed!)
- install shell autocompletions (zsh, bash and fish supported)
- install user systemd service and activate it

## Usage

configuration is generated at startup in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rsplayer/config.toml
- most important values there are:
- listenbrainz_token (last.fm scrobbling not yet tested)
- display_format (supports $ARTIST $ALBUM and $TRACK)
- music_paths (for DB usage, still WIP)
- scan_interval (same as above)  

all other values can be changed in runtime using commands

as for commands:    
RSP will be installed as rsp, in this fragment, rsp will be ommited  

these commands should only be used in testing or by systemd service:  
- `start-daemon`  Start the daemon
- `stop-daemon`   Stop the daemon
- `restart`       Restart the daemon (kill existing and start new)

these are normal commands:  
- `play`          Play a track, album, or artist
- `pause`         Pause playback
- `resume`        Resume playback
- `toggle`        Toggle play/pause
- `stop`          Stop playback
- `next`          Skip to next track
- `previous`      Skip to previous track
- `volume`        Set volume (0-100)
- `shuffle`       Shuffle mode
- `queue`         Queue management
- `status`        Show player status
- `scan`          Scan music paths to populate database
- `settings`      Settings management
- `help`          Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)


## Technical stuff
The main culprit of this player is lack of integration with programs such as playerctl  
this is due to the daemon not being asynchronous
