A fancy TUI client for Google Play Music
Project description
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
Installation
git clone git@github.com: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: you@your-email.com
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

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