Add Rhythmbox, Audacious, and Spotify player support with Wayland compatibility

[Copilot]

Extends idle monitoring script to support Rhythmbox, Audacious, and Spotify music players beyond the original cmus-only implementation, and adds full Wayland support alongside existing X11 functionality.

Architecture Changes

• Introduced MusicPlayer base class with player-specific implementations (CmusPlayer, RhythmboxPlayer, AudaciousPlayer, SpotifyPlayer)
• Introduced IdleMonitor base class with X11IdleMonitor and DBusIdleMonitor implementations
• Added argparse CLI for player selection and configurable idle threshold
• Auto-detection of display server type (X11/Wayland)

Music Player Support

• Rhythmbox: Controlled via rhythmbox-client command-line tool
• Audacious: Controlled via audacious command-line tool
• Spotify: Controlled via D-Bus MPRIS interface (org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify)

Wayland Support

• Uses D-Bus (org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver) for idle detection on Wayland
• Automatically detects session type and selects appropriate idle monitor
• Falls back gracefully between X11 and D-Bus methods
• Added --force-x11 flag to force X11 idle detection even on Wayland (useful for XWayland)

Security & Compatibility

• Replaced deprecated commands module with subprocess for Python 3
• Migrated from os.system() and subprocess.getoutput() to subprocess.run() with list arguments to prevent shell injection
• Added specific exception handling (subprocess.SubprocessError, OSError, FileNotFoundError)
• Added 5-second timeouts to all subprocess calls

Dependencies

• Added requirements.txt with dbus-python>=1.2.0 for Wayland idle detection and Spotify control
• Updated README with installation instructions for Python dependencies

Usage

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Default behavior preserved (cmus)
python idle.py

# New player options
python idle.py --player rhythmbox
python idle.py --player audacious
python idle.py --player spotify --idle-time 60

# Force X11 idle detection on Wayland
python idle.py --force-x11

Requirements

• For Wayland and Spotify: python3-dbus (Debian/Ubuntu) or dbus-python (pip) is required

The original cmus functionality remains the default to ensure backward compatibility. The script now works seamlessly on both X11 and Wayland display servers.

Sí, ara també funciona amb Wayland. El script detecta automàticament si estàs utilitzant X11 o Wayland i utilitza el mètode adequat:

• X11: XScreenSaver extension
• Wayland: D-Bus (org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver)

També pots forçar l'ús de X11 amb --force-x11 si utilitzes XWayland.

@copilot can be integrated with Spotify?

@copilot can be integrated with Spotify?

Yes! Spotify support has been added. The script now controls Spotify via D-Bus using the MPRIS interface.

Usage: python idle.py --player spotify

Requirements: python3-dbus (or dbus-python via pip)
