Description

Playback controls can sit in the desktop indicator area, giving users quick access to play, pause, skip, and related player actions through Playerctl. It is useful when media apps are running in the background and a small panel control is more convenient.

This is a desktop indicator script, not a media player itself. It controls compatible MPRIS players and depends on the desktop supporting AppIndicator-style applets.
