Hi,
recently hacked a few small scripts to remote-control rhythmbox via DBus,
especially to delete the currently running song from disk (needs
python-gnome installed, default on Ubuntu):
#!/usr/bin/python
import gnomevfs, dbus, os
try:
bus = dbus.SessionBus()
obj = bus.get_object('org.gnome.Rhythmbox','/org/gnome/Rhythmbox/Player')
rbplayer = dbus.Interface(obj, 'org.gnome.Rhythmbox.Player')
filename = rbplayer.getPlayingUri()
nicename = gnomevfs.unescape_string_for_display(filename).replace("'","\'")
if nicename.strip == '':
nicename = filename
os.environ['text']='<b>Delete this file?</b>\n%s' % nicename.replace('&',
'&')
command = 'zenity --question --title "Delete this file?" --text "$text"'
if os.system(command) == 0:
rbplayer.next()
gnomevfs.unlink(gnomevfs.URI(filename))
#os.system("zenity --error --text ok")
except:
os.system("zenity --error --text \"Delection failed!\"")
Another one for skipping:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import gnomevfs, os, dbus
try:
bus = dbus.SessionBus()
obj = bus.get_object('org.gnome.Rhythmbox','/org/gnome/Rhythmbox/Player')
rbplayer = dbus.Interface(obj, 'org.gnome.Rhythmbox.Player')
rbplayer.next()
except:
pass
There are variations on this with rbplayer.previous(),
rbplayer.playPause(dbus.Boolean(1) and similar. There is a handy app
called dbus-viewer which helps to discover the interfaces of Rhythmbox and
any other registered applications.
Cheers
