How do I integrate audacious into waybar?

[YuvanMichaelVivenzi]

I want to integrate audacious into my waybar. I'm currently using Hyprland. And audacious is working quite well on my system. But, instead of using mpd and ncmpcpp which I just can't get a hold of, I decided that I'll try to integrate audacious into my waybar config. So, do you guys have any idea on how this might be possible? Has anyone done this before? And does audacious support being put into status bars?

FYI, I'm just looking to get a Play, Pause, forward, rewind, name of the song, (Song picture (if possible))

Just like how audacious has it at the bottom of its gui interface.

I'll be happy to provide my waybar config, if necessary.

Any help or alternatives to consider instead of mpd. Or, an actual guide to set up these programs correctly would be very much appreciated.

Hey guys! Its been an hour. Yet, no replies. I know I shouldn't just expect replies too soon, since I'm in India. Probably due to timezone differences there might be some difficulties. Anyways, I've been thinking about this and I sort of got it working. My current implementation of this is just that there is a box that says Play Music. If I click on it. It starts playing everything in my Music folder one by one. But, I've been getting some ideas on using something like playerctl to connect it to audacious and it can forward, rewind, and do other stuff. So, I'm thinking of using playerctl with hyprland keybindings to control playback actions. Please tell me how I can get playerctl and audacious connected properly.

Hey Guys! I worked it out. It's now up to me to get different play/pause buttons and others into waybar. But, now I figured how playerctl works. I got audacious to keep playing and playerctl automatically detected audacious as the player and made audacious obey the commands I told playerctl to make it to do. I consider this solved now. :) Funny how I got this done myself within a hour or so.
