Confusing "How to use?"

[BoostCookie]

I'm talking about the lines

cmus-status-scrobbler/README.md

Lines 24 to 27 in e970e4d

	3. `status_display_program.sh` for `cmus` should invoke the program.
	```bash
	cmus_status_scrobbler.py "$@" &
	```

Why does it talk about a status_display_program.sh? Where is this shell script? In my opinion it should say something like

Tell cmus to use the scrobbler

:set status_display_program=path/to/cmus_status_scrobbler.py

Usually people use cmus with a variety of display programs, one of them being cmus_status_scrobbler.py.

But yeah, setting cmus_status_scrobbler.py as your only status processing program is also possible.

[vjeranc]

But yeah, I added this as the default option now in the README

Thanks. And also thanks for this nice script.

I've added it to the AUR, btw.

I want to give a heads up for those using cmus-status-scrobbler in the termux app and have android 14.
This command below no longer works in android 14. Or at least it doesn't on OnePlus Pad.

:set status_display_program=path/to/cmus_status_scrobbler.py

So create a bash script called status_display_program.sh. Add these lines

#!/bin/sh

/data/data/com.termux/files/home/.config/cmus/cmus_status_scrobbler.py "$@" &

Execute both the .py and .sh files

chmod +rx status_display_program.sh

chmod +rx cmus_status_scrobbler.py

Invoke

:set status_display_program=/data/data/com.termux/files/home/.config/cmus/status_display_program.sh

in cmus

@GUUser91 Thanks, I've added the Termux section under "How to use?".

I want to give another heads up. You need to change the location of the tmp folder in order for cmus-status-scrobbler to work in termux. Edit the cmus-status-scrobbler.py file with a text editor like micro and vim.

micro cmus_status_scrobbler.py

Change

/tmp/cmus_scrobbler.log

to

/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/tmp/cmus_scrobbler.log

[vjeranc]

This last suggestion I should fix in cmus_status_scrobbler.py. I should use the environment variable TMPDIR if it exists.

@GUUser91 I've fixed it here 2f33fe6 . It should work with termux now without that edit.
