Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: audacious
Ubuntu 8.04
Audacious 1.5.0-2ubuntu2~hardy1
I'm trying to use crontabs to change my current playlist in Audacious, so that
the music playing first thing in the morning is different to the music I drift
off to sleep listening to.
audtool completely fails to work when not run from an xconsole inside
the same X session as Audacious.
When run from a standard console, I get:
-------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$audtool --current-song
In program audtool:
* While attempting to connect to the D-Bus session bus
Error: D-Bus Error: dbus-launch failed to autolaunch D-Bus session: Autolaunch
rror: X11 initialization failed.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
----------------
I assume this is the same thing that happens when audtool is run from a
crontab. The command gives no output to standard or error outputs, and I can
see nothing in the system logs.
Running this same command from an xconsole returns the currently playing
song's name, using the current song name format as shown in the playlist
and player.
I used to use XMMS, which handled this exact case perfectly. (Though by
running xmms, rather than a separately-identified tool)
