Hello Daniel,
thanks for the quick response.
I tested it on the command line with the qdbus tool:
bernhard@debian:~$ qdbus org.mixxx /PlayerManager
org.mixxx.Mixxx.PlayerManager.slotIsDeckPlaying 1
false
--> returns false when the first deck is currently not playing, else true.
bernhard@debian:~$ qdbus org.mixxx /PlayerManager
org.mixxx.Mixxx.PlayerManager.slotLoadToDeck /path/to/filename.mp3 1
--> loads /path/to/filename.mp3 to the first deck.
I had a short look at the MPRIS spec.
Unfortunately this is a litte bit more complex than my "some lines" patch.
The nearest in my patch to slotLoadToDeck would be from the spec OpenUri
<http://specifications.freedesktop.org/mpris-spec/latest/Player_Interface.html#Method:OpenUri>,
but that one has to start playing immediately and there is no way to
specify to load it to a specific deck.
The nearest to slotIsDeckPlaying would probably be the PlaybackStatus
<http://specifications.freedesktop.org/mpris-spec/latest/Player_Interface.html#Property:PlaybackStatus>
property - but this also lacks the 2 (or some) decks concept of mixxx.
Probably one solution could be when every deck has its own dbus
interface (or at least the MediaPlayer2 interface).
And because the client can not immediately assume that the uri is really
playing immediately we could define for mixxx that the user has to
"start" this deck.
Let me have a second look tomorrow...
(Should I open a new ticket or add this to 918199
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/918199> which you mentioned?)
Kind regards,
Bernhard

Hi Bernhard,
Thank you very much for contribute to Mixxx!
It was a long last wish from me to have a D-Bus interface for Mixxx.
We use Launchpad bugs to discuss patches. So please file a new bug and
attach you patch there.
I have not actually test it, but is it much effort to implement your
feature as a part of an MPRIS D-Bus interface?
http://specifications.freedesktop.org/mpris-spec/latest/
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/918199
How did you test the patch? Can you provide a test script or something
like that?
Kind regards,
Daniel

Hello list,
I was searching for a way to load files from extern (e.g. from
command line or by DBus) into one deck of Mixxx.
Thanks to using the Qt library adding this feature needs only a
few lines as in the attached patch.
It makes two functions callable from extern. One for checking if
the deck is currently playing. The other for
loading a file into one deck.
This patch was generated on top of the 1.11.0 release (from
git://github.com/ywwg/mixxx-trunk.git
<http://github.com/ywwg/mixxx-trunk.git>).
It was only compiled on linux. This patch is only useful if there
is a DBus implementation available and/or
has probably to be disabled on Windows and OS X.
Is there a chance to get something like this included?
Kind regards,
Bernhard
