The part about --no-start not working also affects me. I did not check the other options. I have the Ubuntu rhythmbox 2.96-0ubuntu4.2 package installed (Ubuntu 12.04 Precise plus updates).
I checked in the source code and the option sets the variable no_start in the file remote/dbus/rb-client.c. There is no other use of this variable in the entire package source tree. Did this feature used to exist and was removed incompletely? Or maybe the code that uses this was not committed in time? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/958238 Title: Several options for rhythmbox-client are non-functional Status in The Rhythmbox Music Management Application: In Progress Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: lsb_release -rd: Description: Ubuntu precise (development branch) Release: 12.04 apt-cache policy rhythmbox: rhythmbox: Installed: 2.96-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 2.96-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 2.96-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Several of the options listed on the man page for rhythmbox-client are non-functional. $rhythmbox-client --hide Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Unknown option --hide $rhythmbox-client --notify Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Unknown option --notify $rhythmbox-client --mute Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Unknown option --mute $rhythmbox-client --unmute Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Unknown option --unmute To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/rhythmbox/+bug/958238/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
