Correct. Well, that, or you use libgdu and gvfs, but I suppose that's not an option for Solid as it would introduce quite a lot of dependencies. > There's also a UDev backend, providing miscellaneous things like CPUs. Ah, so you directly use libudev anyway for other things? If so, then I think just using that to find/query the media player devices is easiest. We could theoretically export this as an udisks property, so that you can only talk to UDisks, but it would sort of violate the architecture idea behind all this, in the sense of keeping the various subsystem handlers apart. In modern Linux, udev/libudev is meant as the canonical API to access/query all kinds of hardware.
