mediaplayer shows "(null) - (null)" when no player is open

Does the block work at all? I'm not sure that Lollypop is supported. Could you also run

playerctl --player=Lollypop metadata artist
echo $?
playerctl --player=Lollypop metadata title
echo $?

in three following situations: no player running, player running but not playing, player playing.

player not running:

player not playing:

player playing:

In the script, lines 122 and 128, can you add the following two chomps as indicated and see if this fixes the issue

my $artist = qx(playerctl $player_arg metadata artist);
chomp($artist)

...

my $title = qx(playerctl $player_arg metadata title);
chomp($title)

my script is only 77 lines - do I have an older version?

EDIT: adding those chomps at where those lines are in my file has simply made the display not show at all

[kb100]

Yes you must have an old version. The version in this repo has 154 lines. I thought I remembered fixing this issue before. Just update and that will fix it.

updating has fixed this problem.
