tuijam 0.2.1

A fancy TUI client for Google Play Music

TUIJam

A fancy TUI client for Google Play Music.

TUIJam seeks to make a simple, attractive, terminal-based interface to listening to music for Google Play Music All-Access subscribers.

Dependencies

• Python >= 3.6
• mpv

Installation

git clone [e-mail]:cfangmeier/tuijam.git
cd tuijam
python setup.py install --user

Configuration

When you first launch TUIJam, it checks for a config file in $HOME/.config/tuijam/config.yaml with the following content:

email: [e-mail]
password: your-password
device_id: yourdeviceid

If this file doesn't exist, TUIJam will guide you through a first-time setup where you will need to supply your google music email, password, and (optionally) a separate password to encrypt your google credentials locally.

Note that if you have 2-factor setup on your Google account, you need to make an app-password for TUIJam.

MPRIS Support

TUIJam supports a subset of the MPRIS spec to allow for external control via clients such as playerctl. Currently, the following behavior is supported:

• Get current song metadata (Title/Album/Artist)
• Get player status (Playing/Paused/Stopped)
• Play/Pause current song
• Next Song
• Stop

If this causes problems for you, please feel free to create an issue, but this feature can also be disabled by placing the following line in your config file:

mpris_enabled: false 

Controls

• ctrl-c quit
• ctrl-p toggle play/pause
• ctrl-q stop
• ctrl-n move to next song
• ctrl-r view recently played songs
• ctrl-s shuffle queued songs (Note: If this hangs, try running stty -ixon in your terminal and restarting tuijam)
• ctrl-u Thumbs up the currently playing song
• ctrl-d Thumbs down the currently playing song
• > seek forward 10 seconds

TUIJam was heavily inspired by the gpymusic project, and, of course, could not exists without the great gmusicapi.
