Post Body

I found this bash script online that works partially. It will forever scroll the current song but when the song changes or pauses it keeps scrolling that same song info. Any ideas?

Bash script for Spotify using zscroll on Polybar

I am currently using this python script that works but doesn’t scroll:

Python Spotify Script for Polybar

The bash script uses zscroll to do the scrolling, maybe someone with experience with python can incorporate zscroll into the working Python script?

Or I am thinking some kind of loop to keep it checking for a change in song or end of playing

something like this(syntax not correct)

While $PID not equals empty  DO .... DONE
