I have a similar scriptlet that I use to open YouTube URLs in mpv, using just and wl-clipboard… I just copy the URL and press my G1 key (it has a keybind of just yt-paste attached) which launches the yt-paste snippet below, reads the url from the clipboard, parses it and passes it to mpv.

# Parse the clipboard for YouTube URLs and open them in mpv
yt-paste:
  #!/usr/bin/env bash
  YOUTUBE_URL_REGEX="^https:\/\/(www\.youtube\.com\/watch\?v=|youtu\.be\/)[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{11}"
  YOUTUBE_PLAYLIST_URL_REGEX="^https:\/\/(www\.youtube\.com\/playlist\?list=)[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+"
  YOUTUBE_SHORTS_URL_REGEX="^https:\/\/(www\.youtube\.com\/shorts\/)[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{11}"
  # Youtube URL
  if [[ "$(wl-paste)" =~ $YOUTUBE_URL_REGEX ]]; then
    echo "Opening valid YouTube URL" >&2
    notify-send --app-name="YT-Paste" --icon=mpv --transient "Opening YouTube URL"
    mpv "$(wl-paste)"
  # Youtube Playlist URL
  elif [[ "$(wl-paste)" =~ $YOUTUBE_PLAYLIST_URL_REGEX ]]; then
    echo "Opening valid YouTube Playlist URL" >&2
    notify-send --app-name="YT-Paste" --icon=mpv --transient "Opening YouTube Playlist URL"
    mpv "$(wl-paste)"
  # Youtube Short URL
  elif [[ "$(wl-paste)" =~ $YOUTUBE_SHORTS_URL_REGEX ]]; then
    echo "Opening valid YouTube Shorts URL" >&2
    notify-send --app-name="YT-Paste" --icon=mpv --transient "Opening YouTube Shorts URL"
    mpv "$(wl-paste)"
  # No Match
  else
    echo "Clipboard does not contain a valid YouTube URL" >&2
    notify-send --app-name="YT-Paste" --icon=mpv --transient "Whoops!" "Clipboard does not contain a valid YouTube URL"
    exit 1
  fi

They said this in the linked blog post:

A while ago, we discovered a way to scrape Spotify at scale.

Seems like reason enough to choose to scrape Spotify to me.

Yeah, I’m not fond of how many open-source and homelab projects are starting to proudly wear the fact they’re just vibe-coded AI slop poured into a trenchcoat, but at least their declaration of the fact is better than pretending they did it themselves.

Amass was one of the listed projects under the “New Software” section of the post. It has already changed project name to Assistant-to-the-Music.

Amass, the Android client for Music Assistant, has rebranded to “Assistant to the Music” since this was written.

A reddit user pointed out the previous Amass logo looked like it spelled “All Ass”

I use this custom UI called uosc with MPV and its pretty decent.

Definitely agree that mpv isn’t a jellyfin replacement though.

Would you be willing to share your config?

I’ve had no issues with Dash to Dock, this looks more like an ArcMenu issue to me based on your screenshot.

In the description for ArcMenu they say:

Requires GMenu package:

• Depending on your distro you may need to install ‘gir1.2-gmenu-3.0’, ‘gnome-menus’, or ‘libgnome-menu-3-0’

Have you got that dependency covered?

What other extensions do you have installed? What versions of Ubuntu and GNOME are you using?

My monitors.xml has two <configuration> blocks, with the only real difference being that one has <layoutmode>physical</layoutmode> and the second has <layoutmode>logical</layoutmode>. I don’t really think that’d be the issue here though, because if the dummy plug is listed as disabled it shouldn’t be trying to use it anyway…?

I think you’re right in reporting it to the GDM repo, at a minimum someone there will know where to point you towards figuring this out. Maybe the GNOME Mutter repo might be a related stop for this too, seeing that’s the part generating the monitors.xml…

The things that are supposed to be simple are always the bits that suck the most!

Yeah, seems like it should just be working…

You’ve probably already got this covered, but when you created your user monitors.xml config, did you have the dummy plug connected and disabled?

Maybe the config:

• has it included as a monitor and enabled as part of the screen layout
• or possibly doesn’t include it at all, and then GDM just assumes it can/should use it as a new option?

When you copy over your monitor config, are you correcting the ownership/permissions?

The little scriptlet I made to combat a previous nvidia/wayland multi-monitor headache boils down to:

sudo cp $HOME/.config/monitors.xml /var/lib/gdm/.config/
sudo chown gdm:gdm /var/lib/gdm/.config/monitors.xml

Maybe double check if GDM is ignoring wayland as well, I’ve definitely had that happen in the past too.
