Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/issues/1020

I would like to integrate spt with bar so I need a way to get current song and playback status. I found I could use spt pb but have two problems with that.

Dunno how to get status here, like length of song and actuall progress. There is "%s" in format, but shows just arrow for me.
It's very slow, I installed it with cargo and running any spt commands last about 3 seconds. It's way too much.

Any advices?

Using '%r' actually displays the song progress. I probably forgot to add it to the help menu. Regarding the speed of the application, that's definitely something that could be looked at.
