- **Playback Controls**: Supports Play, Pause, Next, Previous, and Stop via the Winamp Web Interface.
- **Live Position Tracking**: Extrapolates playback position for smooth progress bars in your desktop's media widget.
- **Robustness**: Gracefully handles Winamp being offline and automatically reconnects when it starts.
- **Systemd Integration**: Can be run as a background user service.
- **Systemd Integration**: Can be run as a background user service conforming to XDG standards.
- **XDG Compliance**: Installs to `~/.local/bin`, logs to `~/.local/state/winamp-mpris/`, and stores PID in `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`.
## Prerequisites
### 1. Winamp Web Interface Plugin
The bridge communicates with Winamp through the **Winamp Web Interface** plugin.
- **Download**: [Winamp Web Interface v7.5.10](https://winampheritage.com/plugin/winamp-web-interface/92511)
- **Download**: [Winamp Web Interface v7.5.10](https://winampheritage.com/plugin/winamp-web-interface/92511) (Source included in repository).
- **Installation**: Install the plugin in Winamp/WACUP.
- **Configuration**:
1. Open Winamp Preferences -> Plug-ins -> General Purpose.
2. Configure "Winamp Web Interface".
3. Set a **Username** (default: `winamp`) and **Password** (default: `llama`).
4. Ensure the server is running (default port: `5666`).
5. In the **Users** tab, ensure the user has **Play** permissions.
### 2. Winamp/WACUP Title Formatting
To ensure the bridge can extract correct metadata, you must configure Winamp to show specific information in its window title.

## Installation & Setup
1. **Clone or copy the script** to a local directory (e.g., `~/Scripts/winamp-mpris/`).
2. **Configure Credentials**: If you changed the default username/password in the plugin, update the `AUTH` variable in `winamp_mpris.py`.
The project includes an XDG-compliant installer:
### Running Manually
```bash
python3 winamp_mpris.py
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh
```
### Testing and Debugging
You can use `busctl` to interact with the MPRIS interface:
This will:
1. Install the script to `~/.local/bin/winamp-mpris`.
2. Install and enable the systemd user service `winamp-mpris.service`.
3. Start the bridge immediately.
### Logs and Monitoring
- **Logs**: `tail -f ~/.local/state/winamp-mpris/bridge.log`
- **Systemd Logs**: `journalctl --user -u winamp-mpris.service -f`
- **PID File**: `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/winamp-mpris.pid`
### Testing with busctl
You can manually interact with the MPRIS interface:
```bash
# Get playback status
busctl --user get-property org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.winamp /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player PlaybackStatus
# Get current position (in microseconds)
busctl --user get-property org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.winamp /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player Position
# Send commands
busctl --user call org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.winamp /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player PlayPause
```
### Running as a systemd User Service
1. **Install the service file**:
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user/
cp winamp-mpris.service ~/.config/systemd/user/
```
2. **Reload and Enable**:
```bash
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable --now winamp-mpris.service
```
3. **Monitor Logs**:
```bash
journalctl --user -u winamp-mpris.service -f
```

## Troubleshooting
- **Controls not working**: Ensure the Winamp Web Interface is accessible at `http://localhost:5666` and the credentials in the script match your plugin settings.
- **401 Unauthorized**: Ensure the Winamp Web Interface credentials match those in `winamp-mpris` and that the user has "Play" permissions in the plugin's Users tab.
- **Controls not working**: Ensure the Winamp Web Interface is accessible at `http://localhost:5666`.
- **No Metadata**: Ensure `wmctrl -l` can see the Winamp window and the title matches the expected format.
- **KDE Plasma 6**: If using Plasma 6 on Wayland, you may need to grant "Remote Control" permissions when prompted to allow `wmctrl` to read window titles accurately.
