A lot would have to change in order to support this. For instance, variables like `emms-player-playing-p' imply a single player where no such implication is necessary (no reason for it not to be a list). There shouldn't be any reason why I can't launch a video with player A (that can play videos but can't play network streams) and then a soundtrack for that video with Player B (that can't play videos, but can stream music). Stopping the players would default to stopping each in the order of the last player started, and `emms-stop' could also be called with C-u M-x emms-stop and take a "playing" player as an interactive argument. These commands would also gain counterparts with names such as "emms-stop-all" which would endeavor to stop playback in all of the players currently running. Rest assured that the code will live in a separate branch for the near future (now this branch is local to my machine, and in the future a branch on the git repo). -- "Cut your own wood and it will warm you twice" _______________________________________________ Emms-help mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emms-help
