+# tidal-waybar
+Adds Tidal support to Hyprland Waybar
+
+# How does it look?
+__This is how it looks with my waybar config file:__
+![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2170bc8d-b2dd-4a18-aa49-a64b5a39a193)
+
+# How do I set this up?
+1. Ensure you have all the dependencies downloaded!
+```
+sudo pacman -S python python-requests
+```
+
+2. Firstly, I recommend installing the ```tidal-hifi-bin``` from the AUR, you can find alternatives for your distro but I'm currently supporting Arch Linux only. Other clients are **unsupported!**
+```
+yay -S tidal-hifi-bin
+```
+
+3. Click file at the top left, click settings, then go to the API option and ensure the API port is set to 47837 (app must be restarted after applying!)
+
+4. Create a ```scripts``` folder inside of your waybar config and move the .py file to the scripts folder (download it from releases), your config directory should look like this:
+```
+waybar/
+├── config.json
+├── style.css
+├── scripts/
+└───── tidal-waybar.py
+```
+
+5. Once tidal-waybar.py script is setup in the scripts folder, you must chmod the file (this command works assuming you are in the scripts directory)
+```
+chmod +x tidal-waybar.py
+```
+
+6. Add to your config.json (atleast this is what I have)
+```
+    "custom/tidal": {
+    	"exec": "~/.config/waybar/scripts/tidal-waybar.py",
+    	"interval": 5,
+    	"return-type": "string",
+        "on-click": "WAYBAR_BUTTON=1 ~/.config/waybar/scripts/tidal-waybar.py",
+        "on-click-middle": "WAYBAR_BUTTON=2 ~/.config/waybar/scripts/tidal-waybar.py",
+         "on-click-right": "WAYBAR_BUTTON=3 ~/.config/waybar/scripts/tidal-waybar.py"
+    },
+```
+
+# What features are there to be expected?
+- Keybind Support (clicking has control access)
+- Displays band name and song
+- Minimal and lightweight integration
+
+# Credits
+[HubertusWine](https://github.com/HubertusWine) for fixing on click actions
