I’d like to share a side-project that I finally got to a minimally-useful state this weekend, in case others find it useful
Repository: https://gitlab.com/jokeyrhyme/xdp-hook-rs
Features (as of 0.1.2):
- monitors Location, ScreenCast, and RemoteDesktop portal sessions
- triggers configured scripts/command when these sessions are created/closed
Example use case:
- I’m using
ewwas my status bar across the top of my screen - I wanted to show/hide indicators whenever an application was using the ScreenCast portal (e.g. https://meet.jit.si/ or Zoom, or Teams, or whatever)
- so I’m using
xdp-hookto detect when any application creates a ScreenCast session, and update the state inewwaccordingly so that a blinking widget is displayed/removed
Suggestions and code contributions are welcome :)
I’m not familiar with dbus, but i had a quick look. I don’t know the difference between a bus and a connection, btu apparently:
Not sure if the latter would accept the result from the former as a valid parameter, but this SO thread suggested so.
I’ve raised https://gitlab.com/jokeyrhyme/xdp-hook-rs/-/issues/3
Oh, nice
And it looks like the “zbus” library that I’m using exposes the equivalent functionality: https://docs.rs/zbus/2.1.1/zbus/fdo/struct.DBusProxy.html#method.get_connection_unix_process_id
