Rhythmbox plugin

I'm using this at the moment...

http://gdesklets.gnomedesktop.org/categories.php?func=gd_show_app&gd_app_id=162

It works well, although if you don't want/have gdesklets you're in trouble. I guess the code is all in there though if someone could be convinced to write a standalone plugin.

xiphoidappendix, any chance you'll release this standalone version anytime soon? gDesklets don't currently work in my distribution (Gentoo) and I miss Rhythmbox (I had to revert to XMMS). I'd gladly help with development, but my programming skills are rusty and my Python skills are virtually non-existent. : So we're counting on you. ;)

Does it require gnome-python 2.0.3+, or can it also work with 2.0.2? I'm running gentoo, and 2.0.2 is the latest version in portage.

This is my error:

[DEBUG] Rhythmbox class instantiated.

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'event_source_client_add_listener'

ok, in fact it does depend on gnome-python 2.0.3.

What I did was simpy version-bump the pyorbit and gnome python ebuilds - theyre so simple that they work just fine out of the box.

so thanks for the cool plugin!

ok, some more information. i confirmed it was gnome-python 2.0.3 that did not include 'event_source_client_add_listener'. upgrading that should fix it.

i found a new error, though. basically, _bonobo_change_playing only takes 4 arguments, but is getting passed in 5. the last argument is a <BonoboCorbaException at 0xbfffde50>. i dont know what it is,or where from, but here is a patch to make it work (and display the arg that it gets)

bbcode is not keeping the tabs in the patch. this is important, because python is whitespace-aware. due to this fact, you can get Rhythmbox.py (patched) from here:

i don't know anything at all about how CORBA/bonobo works, so unfortunately i can't debug this. maybe someone with more knowledge can fix it

New release: rbscrobbler-0.0.2.tar.gz

Changes:
- sync Rhythmbox interface to current Rhythmlet development version. (This should fix at least one bug that caused rbscrobbler to die.)
- allow resizing of columns in queue
- use gtk.ScrolledWindow for scrollbars
- use prepend instead of append when adding to queue liststore
- fix bug when running under gnome-python 2.0.3

Hmm, I get some goofy error message when I try to run it.

** (rbscrobbler.py:4703): WARNING **: `GtkTextSearchFlags' is not an enum type
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "rbscrobbler.py", line 14, in ?
from Rhythmbox_Bonobo import Rhythmbox_Bonobo
File "/home/andy/Applications/rbscrobbler-0.0.2/Rhythmbox_Bonobo.py", line 26, in ?
import CORBA
ImportError: No module named CORBA

Any idea on what to do?

New version

Changes:
* more code syncing from Rhythmlet
* changed prepend back to append (queue liststore)
* allow rbscrobbler to persist between RB instances

It doesn't (shouldn't) die when you close Rhythmbox anymore.

I know that this error has already been posted, but I got this message using the newest version of the audioscrobbler plugin:

** (rbscrobbler.py:1070): WARNING **: `GtkTextSearchFlags' is not an enum type

bonobo.event_source_client_add_listener(event_source, self._bonobo_register, EVENT_REGISTER)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'event_source_client_add_listener'

Anyone know what to do? I tried that patch but it didn't seem to work.

Is there a way to completely disable the user interface? Ideally, it would be nice to have it remember my password and never need to open a window at all... I would like to have the rbscrobbler program run in a screen when I log in, so that I don't need to do anything about it.

#!/usr/bin/env python

I sometimes use muine as my music player. I wonder if it would be possible to adapt rbscrobbler so that it would work for muine.

Using for example :
