That's the expected behaviour because you're passing a pattern and the properties for all matching media are returned. If no media is matched, it's just the empty set. It's the difference betweek "lookup properties for X" and "find all matching X and lookup their properties". For instance: $ nyxmms2 info title:DoesNotExist $ echo $? 0 would be normal. So I don't think that's an error. You could just check the number of lines the command returns. However, I'm pretty sure that other commands don't set a non-zero return value even when an error was encountered, and that should be fixed indeed... -- Sébastien Cevey / inso.cc " Mirrors and copulation are obscene, for they increase the numbers of mankind.
