media-remote control media players on Linux.
The intention is that this tool is bound to media keys, so a play button on
your keyboard runs media-remote -play, etc. The -select-player feature
is the main reason to use this tool.
The following flags do the obvious thing:
-play-pause-play-pause-next-prev
You can use the following to call methods not defined in this tool:
-raw<method-to-call>
Finally, the -select-player flag will start up a web UI that will allow the
user to select a different player than the default to control with the media
keys. Try it out by playing a youtube video in both firefox and chrome.
-select-player should show two links, allowing you to select firefox or
chrome to bind media keys to.
