Questions about media_control

[ampcat3]

[Edit] Answered my own questions by looking at the code. The commands I asked questions about have not been implemented. The ones that have been implemented work as expected.

I use playerctl with the Spotify app to open an album or playlist and play it. The command would be:

playerctl -p spotify open "spotify:album:7KdKV91G9DiHkJ7RzCjwJt"

The "open" command handles both the opening and the playing of the specified URI. If I use:

playerctl -p spotify_player open "spotify:album:7KdKV91G9DiHkJ7RzCjwJt"

the log file shows the following but nothing appears to happen:

INFO spotify_player::media_control: Got a media control event: OpenUri("spotify:album:7KdKV91G9DiHkJ7RzCjwJt")

Just noticed that 'playerctl -p spotify_player stop' doesn't seem to do anything either so I must have something configured wrong or misunderstood something in the docs. Doing 'playerctl -l' shows spotify_player as something it can control. enable_media_control is set to true in the app.toml file. The documentation states that media_control is enabled by default (I am using the precompiled version 0.20.1 that is in spotify_player-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz). Here are the entries in the log file for when I issued the 'stop' command:

2024-11-02T20:33:37.604924Z INFO spotify_player::media_control: Got a media control event: Stop
2024-11-02T20:34:47.613126Z INFO spotify_player::media_control: Got a media control event: Stop

There is nothing in the log file that shows any action being taken after receiving the event.

Thanks for any info you can provide and for the great application.
