Hi, I'm new to this list, hope that I can make some kind of useful
contribution...

I don't know if it is already possible, but if it is, I see no easy way of
doing it..

In the user interface is the search bar at the top, I was wondering if there
is any easy way of changing its contents using python and DBUS, I know other
features such as start/stop next and prev are available this way, but I
think this would be an excellent addition and maybe not too difficult to
implement...

Usage scenario:

I have an FM transmitter and use Rhythmbox to play my library of around
40,000 music files, we have a 12 volt sound system on the beach about 2km
away, running a laptop for any reasonable amount of time using the battery
in the 12v system and an inverter isnt very power efficient, and no way of
easily charging the system exists, meaning I have to take the (very heavy)
system back to base for a recharge much sooner than I'd have liked.

It would be great if, using an extremely thin client (via SMS maybe) I could
change the search terms to say "Reggae" or "Metal" or whatever.. I know I
could use say, VNC from my mobile phone to access Rhythmbox at the studio
remotely, but this is obviously quite a security risk, and also quite a
kludge for what would otherwise be a very simple task ;) Being able to do
this with SMS would be extremely convenient as it would mean ANY phone
anywhere could be used, because myself and most of my friends are too poor
to be able to afford to use mobile internet from our phones in any case.

Hope somebody can maybe help point me in the right direction or such a
feature could be implemented...

Thanks

Jamie
