How to show artist and album cover?

Open rosavi opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

Website just mentions tmux, which I only know by name. So, what exactly is it I need to show those? I'm assuming tmux, but something tells me just installing it will not be enough.

Knowing this is a support question rather than an atual bug report, I would be willing to create the documentation for future people like me who didn't get how that's supposed to work.

Has anyone ever found out how to do that? I have tmux installed but I can't get artist and album covers to show up in the background as demonstrated in the video. The only dependency I was lacking when compiling was python-gobject-devel because it required python-gobject-codegen which was not available in my system, but this should only be necessary for MPRIS support according to the Readme. Could this be related anyway?

I know nowthing about Python but I suspect it is related to python3-pillow, which is installed on my machine and the code must be in lyvi/background.py (although maybe there is image-related code elsewhere too for covers).

Could this be related to some mixup between Python/Python3 when building/running lyvi? I compiled lyvi with Python3, and my pillow package seems to be Python3 too.
