Hey there!

I'm trying to get this working on Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon, and I'm having a bit of trouble.

I'm pretty new to working with Python like this, so I don't quite know what I'm doing wrong lol. I've tried to install the required dependencies with Synaptic, but I don't know if I'm missing one, or if this is an issue with something else. I've tried to search online about this issue, but I haven't been able to find anything helpful thus far, or at least what I've found goes a bit over my head.

I've provided the terminal output in this here txt file in the hopes that someone smarter than me could make heads or tails of it.
output.txt

Thanks in advance!

I need to update my installation instructions again since I found that the best way to install isn't with pip but with pipx

Try running sudo apt install pipx git libcairo2-dev python3-dev libgirepository1.0-dev and then install with pipx install git+https://github.com/ther0n/beefweb_mpris.git

Run pipx ensurepath and restart your shell/terminal to make sure ~/.local/bin is in your path. Create a file at ~/.local/bin/foobar2000 that launches foobar2000 with wine (make sure it has #!/bin/sh at the top!) for example:

#!/bin/sh
env WINEPREFIX="/home/theron/.wine" wine "/home/theron/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/foobar2000/foobar2000.exe"

Edit ~/.config/beefweb_mpris/config.yaml to launch ~/.local/bin/foobar2000 and edit the username and password if configured.
