Enlightenment and Spotify

Follow the steps of official web page… please go back after that:

I am wondering that Spotify supports MPRIS… with this you can play/pause/stop music and next or forward songs… without entering to the GUI, for example with Fn Keys.

Enlightenment have a way to add it very easy… I will post screenshots of how you can do it:

Go to Settings Panel → Input → Key Bindings

Click on Add, press Fn+“>|” keys. You will see a new option “XF86AudioNext”. Select in “Action” Launch→ Command.

Write in Action Params:

dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Next

You must have something similar to this:

Repeat the process with: Fn+“|<” XF86AudioPrev and write:

dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Previous

And Fn+“>||” XF86AudioPlay and write:

dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.PlayPause

Finally this is my result:
