Highly customizable applet for the budgie panel, for controlling all of your playing media

There is a file:src/testWin.py that is not used when installing the applet, but it is used for debugging, as it creates the applet in a standalone window.

• If you pass -v it will show the vertical representation of the applet.
• If you pass -s the settings page will show. This page is fully operational and directly modifies the settings fortestwin.

This project uses type annotations for better code readability,they should be:

• on functions and methods
• class instance variables (starting with self.)

This applet targets python 3.9+ so, don't use any newer features.

When upgrading the applet, you may need to log out and back in, for the changes to show up

• Make sure all dependencies are installed
• Try again - remove the entire directory cloned with git and start from step 1

Runbudgie-panel --replace from terminal, this will run the panel andall of the applets from the terminal displaying any errors.

Look into/usr/lib64/budgie-desktop/plugins or/usr/lib/budgie-desktop/plugins,is there abudgie-media-player-applet directory? are there folders for other applets?

If in neither of theese directories is abudgie-media-player-applet directory, try installing the applet again.

If there is only a single directory that isbudgie-media-player-applet, you may installed the applet in the wrong place, try to look for any other directory namedbudgie-desktop which contains the folders for other applets.

If nothing works try reinstalling from scratch, or try following the steps from the previous categories.
