The following snippet can be used in [[Home Manager]] to start this program as a daemon:

Or, starting with Home Manager 21.05, enable the <code>mpris-proxy</code> service.


Some headsets (such as Sony's WH-1000XM series) also support AVRCP directly and as such <code>mpris-proxy</code> is not required for this functionality, as headset button presses will register as media key presses. If you are using a WM or a desktop environment which doesn't support media keys, you will have to set up keybindigs yourself; the keys are typically called <code>XF86AudioPlay</code>, <code>XF86AudioPause</code>, <code>XF86AudioNext</code>, and <code>XF86AudioPrev</code>. However, note that some functionality, such as "take off headphones to pause" on WH-1000XM4/5 requires two-way AVRCP communication to work properly, so `mpris-proxy` is still recommended if you wish to use it. It also may or may not help with Bluetooth multipoint.
