qtcmdplayer - cmdline music player for SFOS

pyqt wrapper around QMediaPlayer (and also QAudioDecoder for MP3, since QMediaPlayer doesnt support seeking MP3s)

-CLI with keyboard support, vaguely like mplayer
-single python script for easy installation
-only dependency is pyqt, AFAIK
-supports reading commands from a FIFO, also vaguely like mplayer
-works on debian, sailfish, and probably any other unix-like platform with pyqt

Code:

nemo@sailfishx:~$ qtcmdplayer Caravan\ Palace/Clas

h\ EP/01\ Clash.ogg 

00:02.820 / 03:26.093 - 01 Clash.ogg

Code:

usage: qtcmdplayer [-h] [--daemon] [--loop]

                   [--volume VOLUME]

                   [--mp3] [--nomp3]

                   FILE [POSITION_MILLIS]

                   [COMMAND_FIFO]



Play music/sound files from the command line using PyQt5 media tools.



positional arguments:

  FILE                  sound file to play

  POSITION_MILLIS       optional starting position in

                        millis

  COMMAND_FIFO          optional path to existing

                        FIFO for listening to

                        commands



optional arguments:

  -h, --help            show this message and exit

  --daemon, -daemon     disable keyboard commands

                        and print machine-readable

                        property changes instead of

                        status line

  --loop, -loop         when playback is finished,

                        play again immediately

                        forever

  --volume VOLUME, -volume VOLUME

                        set volume 0 - 100

                        (values greater than 100

                        are allowed only for MP3s,

                        or with --mp3)

  --mp3                 force MP3 mode

                        regardless of file extension

                        (use

                        QAudioDecoder+QAudioOutput

                        instead of QMediaPlayer)

  --nomp3               force non-MP3 mode

                        regardless of file extension

                        (use QMediaPlayer instead of

                        QAudioDecoder+QAudioOutput)

Re: qtcmdplayer - cmdline music player for SFOS

p.s.: its also NUTS. dont assume that it will do any particular non-crazy thing, be cause it probably wont.
i wrote it just to replace mplayer as the backend to my equally-bizarre music player, klomp, and im sharing it only because i dont know if there are any CLI music players at all running on SFOS

Re: qtcmdplayer - cmdline music player for SFOS

NOTE: QMediaPlayer apparently supports seeking in MP3s now, both in debian and sailfish, so i updated qtcmdplayer to use QMediaPlayer instead of QAudioDecoder for all files, including MP3s (--player-alt can be used to use the old player for old versions of pyqt5-multimedia)

(QMediaPlayer is much more efficient, and unlike QAudioDecoder, doesnt have to decode everything up to a certain point to seek to that point)
