Feature Request: Add support for the Identity property
Currently whenever playerctl uses the name of a player it used the bus name. MPRIS2 also has a property called Identity on the org.mpris.MediaPlayer2 (Not org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player) interface, which gives a human readable name.
It would be nice to have an option to get the identity of a player (For example playerctl identity
)
What about a format variable?
playerctl metadata --format '{{playerIdentity}}'
Yes. That would also work.
I just thought that because most things have both a command and a format variable and Identity isn't really part of the metadata having a command for it would be more consistent with the rest of the application.
