2.7

This release adds:

- Complete and corrected MPRIS implementation and support of playerCtl, except for opening Uris through mpris.
- Libnotify as a new optional dependency.
- Fixes to many minor issues that have cropped up.

  • Proper MPRIS and PlayerCtl support. Set volume, stop, seek and others now work as expected. You can also switch tracks while stopped or paused now. Everything should work except openUri and repeat playlist which are not available for now.

  • New (optional) dependency: Libnotify. In practice, adding libnotify as a dependency means browsing through music will no longer make desktop notifications pile up, instead the one visible will update itself. Thank you, @kazemaksOG, this looks much better. kew uses libnotify only if you have it installed, so it should if possible be an optional thing during installation.

  • Allows binding of other keys for the different ui views that you get with F2-F6.

  • Removed the option to toggle covers on and off by pressing 'c'. This led to confusion.

  • Removed build warning on systems with ffmpeg 4.4 installed.

  • Only run one instance of kew at a time, thanks @werdahias for the suggestion.

  • If you exit the kew with 0% volume, when you open it next time, volume will be at 10%. To avoid confusion.

  • Handle SIGHUP not only SIGINT.

  • Prints error message instead of crashing on Fedora (thanks @spambroo) when playing unsupported .m4a files. This problem is related to ffmpeg free/non-free versions. You need the non-free version.

  • Fixed issue where special characters in the song title could cause mpris widgets to not work correctly.
