โจ Display embedded album art for mpd tracks โจ
kunst
is a deamon that extracts the album art from the songs playing in mpd
and displays them in the a little window. It doesn't loop on a timer, instead it waits for mpd
to send a player
event. When it receives a player
event, it wakes up and extracts the album art of the current playing track. This maks kunst
really lightweight and makes it idle at ~0%
CPU usage.
Note: kunst
is meant to be used with files that have embedded album art. But, if a song that is currently playing, does not have an embedded album art, an image of a music note will be shown.
