# Android mpris bridge

android_mpris_bridge-gitAUR is available in the AUR. It enables you to control (pause/play/change volume) media players which support the MPRIS D-Bus interface (such as vlc and kdemultimedia-dragonplayer) from your Android device.

## Running the application

If you are using PulseAudio, append this line to /etc/pulse/default.pa in order to load it's dbus module at startup :

    pactl load-module module-dbus-protocol

To automatically load the avahi daemon at startup run this command:

    # systemctl enable avahi-daemon.service

After rebooting your system, run this command from a terminal:

    $ mprisap-launch

Make sure your Android device and PC are both connected to the same wireless network.

On the Android device install the application apk from: https://bitbucket.org/mderezynski/android_mpris_bridge/downloads

And search for your MPRIS access point.
