playerctl cannot find player when using systemd service
Opened this issue · 4 comments
This program performed flawlessly inside a terminal , however when using systemd service to run the program, playerctl can't find the mpd player, executing playerctl status only returns "No players found". I think it might be related to user bus, but I don't know how to solve it.
System is Arch Linux, 6.1.8-arch1-1
The systemctl --status output seemed normal, except playerctl can't get any info about MPD
Service started.

Which DE/WM are you using? Also, are you running mpdris2-rs as root or as user service?

Hyprland WM, running as user service
Then you might need to import some environment variables into systemd to make it work. On my sway setup I do this:
systemctl --user import-environment DISPLAY WAYLAND_DISPLAY SWAYSOCK XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd WAYLAND_DISPLAY XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway
