Requirements
============To install this program, you must have the following:
- ``python 3.5+``
- The Python library ``notify2``
- ``notify-send``Installation
============To install this program, you can simply run the following command:
.. code-block:: sh
python setup.py install
This program can also be found on `Pypi `_ which means you can install it by downloading the wheel or by using the following command:
.. code-block:: sh
pip install cmus-notify
You can check if it installed correctly by doing the following command:
.. code-block:: sh
cmus_notify -h
It should display a message.
Hooking To Cmus
===============To hook this program to ``cmus``, you have to create a shell script that have the following lines in it:
.. code-block:: sh
#! /bin/sh
cmus_notify "$*" &
Then, you must make the file executable by using the following command (assuming your script's name is ``cmus_notify.sh``):
.. code-block:: sh
chmod +x cmus_notify.sh
Finally, once you are in ``cmus``, you can add the hook by using the following command:
.. code-block:: vim
:set status_display_program=
Customization
=============If you want you can specify the formatting of the notification by specifying format strings. For example:
.. code-block:: sh
#! /bin/sh
cmus_notify --title "Now playing: {title} by {artist}" --body "$(printf "Album: {album}\nDuration: {duration}")" "$*"
You can also specify a configuration to read these values from. By default, the program will search for a configuration file named ``~/.cmus-notify``. It has the following format:
.. code-block:: ini
[notifications]
application_name = Cmus
custom_notification = /home/user/.cmus/custom_notification.py[format]
title = Now playing: {title} by {artist}
body = Album: {album}
Duration: {duration}The options accepts the same values as their command-line options equivalent.

.. code-block:: sh
cmus_notify --help
which will display the following prompt:
.. code-block:: text
