Media Controls + Album Art for Omarchy

A native Quattro/Quickshell now-playing widget for the Omarchy bar, with media controls, live album art, and artist/title details:

Media Controls + Album Art in the Omarchy bar

previous · play/pause · next · album art · artist — title

It works with Spotify and other Linux media players that expose the standard MPRIS interface. The widget uses Quickshell's MPRIS service directly: it does not poll playerctl, download cover art into /tmp, or depend on the old Waybar scripts.

Install

omarchy plugin add https://github.com/crmne/omarchy-mpris.git --enable --yes
omarchy bar move crmne.mpris --section right --before omarchy.tray

Requirements

Omarchy Quattro with its Quickshell-based shell.
At least one media player exposing the standard MPRIS interface.

There are no additional packages or helper scripts. In particular, this plugin uses Quickshell's MPRIS service directly and does not require playerctl.

Remove

omarchy plugin remove crmne.mpris --yes

For local development, put or link this repository at ~/.config/omarchy/plugins/crmne.mpris and run:

omarchy-shell shell rescanPlugins
omarchy plugin enable crmne.mpris --section right --before omarchy.tray

Click album art or the label to raise the player. Middle/right click there go to the previous/next track. Scrolling anywhere over the controls also changes track.

The Omarchy bar settings UI exposes album-art size, label width, and whether the artist is shown.
