[Bug 752033] Re: Music player should not show its main window if it launches when play button is pressed
Xavier, I very much agree. We just need one additional thing in .desktop files: Implements. Then we could have Implements=org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer, which entails having the actions you're suggestions (don't even need to be GActions, org.freedesktop.Application has an ActivateAction as well). I'm planning to write this up at some point and suggest it on the next freedesktop summit. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/752033 Title: Music player should not show its main window if it launches when play button is pressed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-sound/+bug/752033/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Yeah, this is impossible in the current spec. It's definitely not a Papercut: while you can start rhythmbox-client headless, there's no way for media players to specify the command for their headless mode in the desktop file. ** Changed in: indicator-sound Assignee: Conor Curran (cjcurran) => (unassigned) ** No longer affects: banshee (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/752033 Title: Music player should not show its main window if it launches when play button is pressed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-sound/+bug/752033/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 752033] Re: Music player should not show its main window if it launches when play button is pressed
Here is how I think it should be implemented: 1) rhythmbox should use GApplication to implement a few GAction like "play". 2) rhythmbox should install a .service file to be dbus-activatable 3) rhythmbox should install a org.gnome.Rhythmbox.desktop file that tells the actions it implements. See http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s07.html 4) Unity can then start rhythmbox and play by invoking the "play" action on rhythmbox, using g_desktop_app_info_launch_action(). Most of the work should be done upstream IMHO. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/752033 Title: Music player should not show its main window if it launches when play button is pressed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-sound/+bug/752033/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This still happens more than one year later with Rhythmbox. A quick glance at the manpage of rhythmbox-client suggests, that the necessary behaviour could be possible with it. If the maintainer(s) of indicator-sound agree, this could specify for a Papercut. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/752033 Title: Music player should not show its main window if it launches when play button is pressed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-sound/+bug/752033/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 752033] Re: Music player should not show its main window if it launches when play button is pressed
Good thinking, Dylan. I agree it would be more consistent if the player could start playing without its window opening in this situation. I guess that would require introducing, and evangelizing, some new API (or even something as simple as a standard command-line option?) for a player to start up hidden and playing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/752033 Title: Music player should not show its main window if it launches when play button is pressed -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 752033] Re: Music player should not show its main window if it launches when play button is pressed
Hi Dylan, Thats a valid point but the issue here is more todo with that fact that I literally fake a service like effect by starting the player and then once the player is up and going I send it a play command. Therefore I have no way to when initialising the player tell it to begin in a hibernated state.
