I got it!! I had the sources and when looked into the them realized that if we don't give any option with rhythmbox-client it simply imports that file uri. :-). So I first call rhythmbox-client without any arguments to import it if needed. Then again call rhythmbox-client --enqueue to actually enqueue my file.
However, the fact that no option imports the file needs to be documented in the man page for rhythmbox. Shall I submit a patch for the same? By the way, my nautilus plugin(right-click and add to Play Queue plugin) is working now ;-). Do let me know if you need it and I shall mail it across. Don't want to spam everyone by sending it unsolicited. regards, Seemanta On Fri, May 15, 2009 at 2:14 PM, Seemanta Dutta <[email protected]> wrote: > Sorry, I forgot to mention in my last mail that I did try --play-uri.
