Hi Robert,
>>I need some help on integrating with the sound menu (preferably in
python). I have successfully registered my app, which implements the
MPRIS specification, but I don't know how to handle the button >>presses
in the sound menu.
The sound menu button presses uses the the mpris2 protocol to
communicate with the player. For instance the play/pause button results
in the PlayPause method being called an instance of an
org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player interface.
You will need to implement an mpris2 compliant server so as you have at
a minimum an instance of an MPRIS root and an MPRIS Player dbus object.
The root instance is used to determine the capabilities of the server by
the client. A complete example implementation of an MPRIS2 server can be
found in the banshee source (sudo apt-get source banshee, in the
extensions folder you will find a Banshee.Mpris folder with all the
relevant code).
I don't know of any Python server implementation. To date Xnoise, MPD,
rhythmbox, banshee, amarok are all supported.
>>I think it would be useful if the Sound Menu wiki
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundMenu> would contain such information,
because there is info about registering, but nothing else, while the
Application Indicators wiki page
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationIndicators>
does contain simple >>samples in C, Python, and C# too.
Good idea, will do this once we have completed the playlist work.
