Now Playing Module for waybar

[Affanmm]

Description

A new Now-Playing module has been added to the waybar that dynamically displays the current playing media. It utilizes the playerctl package to get the metadata of the media and displays it in a modern and sleek way.
The module has a variable length depending on the length of the media title. It also dynamically adjusts to all the wayar themes and changes the background based on the playing status of the media.
It utilizes scrolling text to enhance readability, even in shorter lengths.
The script is lightweight and efficient in its task, and also provides various media playback functions instantly.

Context

Currently, there is no way to control the media playing in the foreground or background. This Now-Playing module not only does that job but also provides various playback functions at quick disposal.

How Has This Been Tested?

• Tested on Arch Linux/Based Distro.
• Tested on Fedora Linux/Based Distro.
• Tested on openSuse.

I have tested this with Light, Dark and Colored themes. It works flawlessly.
