Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/issues/781

I've set the following icons in my config:

behavior:
    playing_icon:  
    pause_icon: 

When a song is playing spt pb -s -f "%s" correctly gives , however when paused gives  instead of my configured icon. Is this the intended behaviour?

I would like to use spt pb -s -f "%s" in some of my scripts to know if spotify is playing or not and for this reason would like to know what output I can expect.
For this reason I would actually prefer getting an output e.g. Playing/Paused rather than an icon. But icons are fine, if they could be configured.

Try paused_icon instead of pause_icon. I think this is the correct name.

Edit: I think you can just set them to Playing/Paused in the config file. That makes it easier to work with them.

Thanks a lot @OrangeFran! Stupid typo by me... Also really nice that one can use "Playing"/"Paused" as "icons 👍
