Write cover art to /tmp file

[danielwerg]

mpDris2 writes file cover-rand.jpg to /tmp (https://github.com/eonpatapon/mpDris2/blob/4a7dc031ca6b3f944983deede5309237115e27c4/src/mpDris2.in.py#L757)

That makes it possible to display notification with current track info:

notify-send "test" -i "$(playerctl metadata --format "{{ mpris:artUrl }}" | awk -F "file://" '{print $NF}')"

Note: | awk -F "file://" '{print $NF}') needed in dunst 1.12.0

When I tried that with mpv and mpv-mpris I realized mpv-mpris outputs base64 for artUrl.

Can we have an option for mpv-mpris to write cover art to /tmp file?

I'm currently not working this actively, because I don't like this implementation and I'm not completely satisfied with the code. I'm currently working a version with C++ and QtCore. I'll finish it and release it next month after I'm finished with Advent of Code 2024.

Anyway you should probably open a feature request for dunst to support base64.

Forgot to mention that because how long most cover art images encoded in base64 are you would get "Argument list too long" error
