Preview

Usage

Install the script (see installation) and run it using dmenu. Make sure to edit the config file to match your system.

Installation

Download the script and save it to /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, or any other path specified in your shell's $PATH variable. Then chmod +x it to make sure it's executable.

If /bin/sh isn't an alias then edit the script and change #!/bin/sh to a shell on your Linux system.

Notes

• This script IS fully POSIX compliant.
• This script has ffmpeg and dmenu as a dependency
• If you are on Gentoo, enable X, xcb and libdrm USE flags for the ffmpeg package
• Rofi support might become a patch later on.
