This script will update a xfce4-panel genmon plugin that is set up with genmonify to display the currently playing media file and elpapsed or remaining time.
Example settings (~/.config/mpv/scrip-opts/xfce-genmonify.conf):
pause_color=#EEEEEE
icon_click_command="mediacontrol toggle"
icon_playing=mpv
icon_paused=media-playback-start
time_remaining=yes
Setting up the genmonify thing:
- install genmon and genmonify
- add a genmon instance, max out the time and set the command to
genmonify -o media - find the internal xfce-panel ID for the genmon instance (
genmonify --list) - add the line
modules[media]=IDto~/.config/genmonify/module-list
