# wnpClient


Alternative client for the [WebNowPlaying-BrowserExtension](https://github.com/tjhrulz/WebNowPlaying-BrowserExtension).

Requires [websocketd](https://github.com/joewalnes/websocketd).

Run it with:
`websocketd --port=8974 wnpClient`



The information is stored in a text file: `~/.wnpClient/wnpClient.txt`.

From there you can read it with whatever application you want to use.
For example with [Executor](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/2932/executor/) for the gnome desktop environment.
`head  ~/.wnpClient/wnpClient.txt -n 2 | sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/ by /g'`

The cover of the current song is also downloaded to `~/.wnpClient/cover.jpg`.
