Description: player_do provides a simple command line interface to control whatever media
        player is running on your computer.
        
        It is designed to allow you to configure the media buttons on your keyboard
        (play, pause, next etc.) to Do The Right Thing without having to change anything
        if you switch to a different media player.
        
        It also includes commands 'install_gnome','install_mate', 'install_gnome3', and
        'install_cinnamon' to help set up keyboard shortcuts initially on
        GNOME2/Mate/GNOME3/Cinnamon. It can, however, be used with any system where you
        can map keyboard shortcuts to commands.
        
        The currently supported media players can be seen by running 'player_do
        help'. Those that have been tested include the following:
        
        * Audacious
        * Amarok
        * Banshee
        * Clementine
        * cmus
        * Exaile
        * Guayadeque
        * moc
        * MPD (configurable using MPD_HOST and MPD_PORT environment variables like mpc)
        * pianobar
        * Quodlibet
        * Rhythmbox (needs MPRIS plugin installed and enabled)
        * shell-fm (0.8 and later)
        * VLC (2.0 and later)
        
        Many other players will be supported due to support for the MPRIS DBUS protocol,
        without a specific backend.  If you only need support for those players,
        consider using `MPRIS-remote <http://incise.org/mpris-remote.html>`_.
        
        To add more supported programs, see the existing code in the 'backends'
        directory.  Patches gratefully received!
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        You can use pip to install::
        
            pip install playerdo
        
        However, we recommend the use of `pipx <https://pypi.org/project/pipx/>`_
        (Python 3 only) to install it into its own virtualenv::
        
            pipx install playerdo --system-site-packages
        
        You may also need to install Python DBUS bindings. We recommend doing this at
        the system level. On Debian-like systems this is usually done with one of the
        following packages::
        
              python-dbus
              python3-dbus
