@ValHue I tried fixing this in an attempt to get this to work in my setup but for some reason it keeps crashing due to some issues with MPRIS.

Upstream hasn't seen any new commits since Jan 30, and I just found that grimpy's fork (where I got the patch from) is more active and I'm using that right now.

I'm not really sure what are the steps to follow, should we change upstream url or should I create a new package like grimpy-mconnect-git for grimpy's fork?

@jonathannerat Thank you for your collaboration. If at any time you want to maintain this package, you just have to say so. Sometimes I am very short of time ...

These are the patches I applied to this package to make it work again:

@airon90 It's very useful for non-gnome or non-kde DE.

mconnect is useless now as the project was abandoned in favour of another GNOME Shell extension, GSConnect

Thanks for updating the package for Meson!

@American_Jesus After the last update it in `/usr/bin`, not `sbin`, and available. Thank you.
