Am I missing something?

[bograt]

I'm trying to add a module that scrolls mpd's current track. The script outputs fine to the terminal, but I get no output in polybar.

config:
[module/skroll-mpd]
type = custom/script
exec = bash ~/.config/polybar/scripts/skroll-mpd.sh
format-underline = #ffb52a
tail = true

script:
#!/bin/bash
mpc status | head --lines=1 | skroll -l

Whats the output if you run it on a shell?

The current track in mpd, scrolling. I realize that I'll have to change some things, to make it rerun on track change, stop when paused, &c., but I still wanna know what I'm missing to get stdout to display in a module.

Yeah, I'm gonna try to finagle this a bit, too.

Polybar prints the last line of the output.

In this case, it's not printing any of the output. Closing simply because I doubt I'll come back to this.
