# pianobar should not already be running when you start this script

# pianobar must be installed and updated for this script to run
#   brew install pianobar 
# you must have logged in to pianobar at least once outside this script and set the start station so it autoplays on launch
# user and password must be set in your pianobar config (~/.config/pianobar/config)
# your pianobar config must have the fifo line enabled and set to file "ctl" file path set below.  The fifo file will be created if it doesnt exist
#   e.g. fifo = ~/.config/pianobar/ctl
#
# if you want to get the current song to display in the pianobar menu you must do two things.  
# First, create a file called nowplaying in the pianobar config directory
#   touch ~/.config/pianobar/nowplaying
# Second uncomment the eventcmd in your pianobar config 
#   e.g. event_command = ~/.config/pianobar/eventcmd.sh
# and create eventcmd.sh a file with the following contents in to your config folder.  
# make it executable "chmod +x ~/.config/pianobar/eventcmd.sh" 
#
#  touch ~/.config/pianobar/eventcmd.sh
#  chmod +x ~/.config/pianobar/eventcmd.sh

# troubleshooting
# - make sure pianobar is up to date
# - make sure this file is executable
#     chmod +x pianobarctl.15s.sh
# - if you are not getting results in the script double check your config
# - check your running prcesses for "pianobar" and "screen" and kill them if they are running

# create the fifo file for pianobar if it doesnt exist
# allow for pause/unpause, next, quit, and launch
# read nowplaying if eventcmd is configured
# refresh every 15s
