# media control script using playerctl
# the player is chosen from ~/.config/mc.conf if $2 is not passed
# editing ~/.config/mc.conf directly is discouraged, use mc-config instead
# if file is absent then -p is not used while calling playerctl
# Usage:
# mc play
# mc pause
# mc pp
# mc stat / status
# mc stop
# mc next / n
# mc prev / p  / previous
# mc meta / metadata
# mc title / tit / t
# mc artist / art / a
# mc titart / ta
# mc arttit / at
