[Enhancement] Headless Mode

[deadtrickz]

Hello, any plans for a headless mode? I have a small project where i play a lot of these formats from a floppy disk on a headless pi, but only a few programs support playing these formats and even less have headless functionality.

Sure, that doesn't seem too hard to implement anyway.
By headless I suppose you mean a command line program that can also be remote controlled, right? If not, can you tell me what you imagine the interface to be like?

That is exactly what i mean. It wouldn't rely on x11 or anything of the sort and would run based on given commands. <3 Thank you for the reply also!

If you've ever used MOCP (music on console) or vgmplay they both have great headless interfaces. Personally i'll run the program in the background so i only care that it can work and queue the m3u i throw at it.

Hello! Sorry for finally replying back just now. I've done some decent amount of work in this front - right now you can build a version of the program that runs on the terminal and requires only SDL (for sound only), DBus (optionally, required for MPRIS) and GME (required for emulators).
Right now, however, the program isn't able to run in background and requires using MPRIS to access it remotely. I was wondering if this was all right for you?
I might also try implementing a version that runs as a daemon, though I'm not sure how long it'll take.

I’m able to use it as it is now. Headless mode or as a daemon would be preferred for sure though. I’m around to see how it goes so no rush 😊 From: ***@***.***> Sent: Saturday, September 16, 2023 1:29 PM To: ***@***.***> Cc: ***@***.***>; ***@***.***> Subject: Re: [chrg127/gmplayer] [Enhancement] Headless Mode (Issue #1) Hello!
