solved perfectly

This script solved all:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
#Written by Matthew Headlee 20170208

#Send all output to null, comment out for debugging.
exec &> /dev/null

#Function eClementineGetState() checks current state of media playback
#returns 0 if media is playing, 1 if paused, 2 if stopped, 3 if not running
eClementineGetState() {
    iClemPID=$(pgrep -x clementine)
    if [ ! -z "${iClemPID}" ]; then
        for sFileDes in $(find /proc/${iClemPID}/fd -type l); do
            if file -bi "$(readlink -f ${sFileDes})" | awk '!/video|audio/ {exit 1}'; then
                #echo "Playing or Paused."
                echo "Media File Handle is ${sFileDes}"

                sFileDesInfo="/proc/${iClemPID}/fdinfo/$(basename ${sFileDes})"
                iFilePosA=$(awk '/pos:/ {print $2}' "${sFileDesInfo}")
                sleep .1
                iFilePosB=$(awk '/pos:/ {print $2}' "${sFileDesInfo}")
                if [ "${iFilePosA}" -ne "${iFilePosB}" ]; then
                    echo "Playing."
                    return 0
                fi

                echo "Paused."
                return 1
            fi
        done
        echo "Stopped."
        return 2
    fi
    echo "Media Player Not Found."
    return 3
}

eClementineGetState
[ "${?}" -eq 1 ] && clementine --play

Clementine resume the music only if before paused.

echo

echo(1B)					     SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands						  echo(1B)

NAME

       echo - echo arguments to standard output

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/ucb/echo [-n] [argument]

DESCRIPTION

       echo writes its arguments, separated by BLANKs and terminated by a NEWLINE, to the standard output.

       echo  is useful for producing diagnostics in command files and for sending known data into a pipe, and for displaying the contents of envi-
       ronment variables.

       For example, you can use echo to determine how many subdirectories below the root directory (/) is your current directory, as follows:

	 o  echo your current-working-directory's full pathname

	 o  pipe the output through tr to translate the path's embedded slash-characters into space-characters

	 o  pipe that output through wc -w for a count of the names in your path.

	      example% /usr/bin/echo "echo $PWD | tr '/' ' ' | wc -w"

       See tr(1) and wc(1) for their functionality.

       The shells csh(1), ksh(1), and sh(1), each have an echo built-in command, which, by default, will have precedence, and will be  invoked	if
       the  user  calls  echo without a full pathname. /usr/ucb/echo and csh's echo() have an -n option, but do not understand back-slashed escape
       characters. sh's echo(), ksh's echo(), and /usr/bin/echo, on the other hand, understand the  black-slashed  escape  characters,	and  ksh's
       echo() also understands a as the audible bell character; however, these commands do not have an -n option.

OPTIONS

       -n	Do not add the NEWLINE to the output.
