[Rhythmbox-devel] Feature suggestion: Random playback in the scope of albums
Hello, I have used Amarok before I switched to Rhythmbox (due to the much much better support of gapless playback), and there was one feature in Amarok that I liked very well and would love to see it also in Rhythmbox: Random playback for albums. This works the following way: - If enabled and the user clicks the play-button, a random album from the music collection (or playlist) is selected and played (in regular order of the tracks) - If the last track from the album is over, another random album is selected and so on Allthough I am not a very experienced programmer, I think I could try to implement this myself, since I suppose this might be a rather minor change/enhancement (or at least I hope so ;-) ). But I thought it would be a good idea to ask here first, if there is any chance at all that a feature like this might become integrated into Rhythmbox. I also have already made up my mind about how this feature could be integrated in the GUI of Rhythmbox. In Amarok it is solved the way that there is a small icon in the lower window corner which toggles the current play mode between normal random (song scope) and random (album scope) when you click on it. This fits well to the user interface of Amarok, but I am not sure if it would also fit to the one of Rhythmbox. Maybe it could be solved by adding a additional button next to the one that is already there to enable random playback, called Play albums in random order (or something like this). If this button is clicked, then the random-button for songs would automatically be unpressed if random song playback was enabled (and vice versa). It would be great to hear what you think.

For now, it would be two but I'm sure other people might like to add some in the future. -- Jason Bodnar [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.shakabuku.org ___ rhythmbox-devel mailing list rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
[Rhythmbox-devel] Another feature suggestion: Open sound files but not add to collection
I also want to suggest a feature to rhythmbox I want to be able to open a list of files, but not add it to collection, because for example files have no metadata, so they land in unknown artist/album list, or for other reasons as well.

Would of course also be fine (For me personally it wouldn't be that important how exactly the UI integration is solved ;-) ).

[Rhythmbox-devel] plugin development
Hello all, I am developing a plugin for one of social networks(just a home project for myself and friends). I almost do not know Python, but it seems that I can study it faster than GObject or Vala. I have a one question about plugin development for Rhythmbox on Pyton. I have reviewed the source code of few plugins and, in principle, I understand the logic of Pyton plugin system. But most of the existed plugins using BrowserSource work with a list of already prepared tracks from remote files or something else. The essence of my plugin - do search in the remote database and use the response to fill the track list of BrowserSource. The problem is that the search bar of BrowserSource is connected to the track list already filled with tracks and I don't know how to change the behaviour of search bar. Is it possible to do so with BrowserSource or do I need to use normal PlaylistSource and use customized search bar based on GTK? Thank you for any help, Alexander ___ rhythmbox-devel mailing list rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
