Hi all,

I have done a brief look at the source codes but come up with nothing.

Indeed, cmus simply spawsn status display program each time player's
file/status/metadata changes.

Can you please tell what for do you want different behaviour?

Thanks for replying.

Desired bahaviour: cmus calls the status display program only when a new
song is started being played (not started being played because of resuming).

Any hint on which files/places to look at will be much appreciated!

I think it can easily be done by writing a custom
status_display_program, which first checks that «status» is «playing»,
and then calls «cmus-remote -Q» to check playback position, and only
calls «real» status_display_program is playback position is, say, less
than 3 seconds.

Should we extend the status_display_program args to include the
playback position?

I think this is a very good idea! Patch is welcome :-).
