General Discussion / Mediakeys under wine for WACUP (MPRIS support)
« on: March 16, 2026, 09:12:30 AM »
I'm successfully running WACUP on wine-11 under Kubuntu 24.04 with pipewire. Installation worked with no problems (related).
After setting output to "Not So Wavey" and starting WACUP with the wine env var
However, the global media keys didn't work as the player is not registered as a MPRIS2 agent, which is a known issue for wine apps.
Therefore, I let Claude Code code up a plugin for WACUP that starts a MPRIS2 client that allows for media keys to control WACUP under wine. Tested for wine-11. Seems to work well! It registers as a plugin and communicates with a linux host binary via TCP that registers the MPRIS DBUS
