How to use rhythmbox-client of rhythmbox installed from flathub

Hello. I’d appreciate any advice you can give me.

I’m using rhythmbox from flathub.
Rhythmbox itself is working fine.
I’d like to know how to run rhythmbox-client.
I understand that rhythmbox runs in /var/lib/flatpak/app/org.gnome.Rhythmbox3/current/active/files/bin/rhythmbox.
I want to use rhythmbox-client in the same directory.
Using rhythmbox-client I can get the name of the musician and the title of the song being played. I want to handle these two in a shell script.
How should I start rhythmbox-client?

You should probably ask that on the issues of the package.

Hi there. I managed to solve it myself.

$ flatpak run --command=rhythmbox-client org.gnome.Rhythmbox3 --print-playing

I was able to run rhythmbox-client by running this.

Thanks.
