This is the first I've heard of this.

Well, obviously most of this stuff is volunteer so it's likely whenever he's about to do it. But I don't think anybody is doing anything dictatorial here. It's not a spec unless the major music players like banshee, rhythmbox, and others decide to approve the spec. We look at people who use the db as "ISV"'s who want to be able to create a music player in GNOME. So I don't think we should approach things as GNOME centric attitude and I don't think that's what is happening here.. > It's close to trivially simple for players/apps to implement the server-side > part using libmpris without removing their own protocol, as well as for > clients to implement that instead of various specific interfaces. > Can you explain what libmpris is? sri _______________________________________________ gnome-multimedia mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-multimedia
