Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: screenlets
**Problem:-
Now Playing Screenlet used to work pretty well with Audacious <2. But since
Audacious 2 is released it stopped working with it.
***What was expected:-
- After installing Audacious2 and Screenlets, enabling Nowplaying
screenlet, and configuring it to monitor Audacious , it should detect its
status.
***What happened instead:-
- Nothing appears in the NowPlaying screenlet except "sh: audtool: not
found".
_______________
**Environment:-
- Screenlets 0.1.2-7 on Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha 5.
- Audacious 2.1.0 and its plugins (audacious-plugins and
audacious-plugins-extra)
______________
**Hypothesis:-
1 - It all happens because in Audacious2 all original Audacious commands used
have been changed to Audacious2. So, the commands used to retrieve the current
playing song for example is not "audtool --current-song" any more it became
"audtool2 --current-song" instead.
2 - The Audacious detection file of Nowplaying, located in
"/usr/share/pyshared/screenlets/plugins/Audacious.py", contains all the old
Audacious commands. So, all the commands sent to control or monitor Audacious2
don't reach it basically.
______________
**Suggested solution:
- Mainly all the Audacious commands used are "audtool" variants. So, all have
to be replaced by by "audtool2" in the previously mentioned file to be able to
control Audacious2.
- This configuration change shall be present as Audacious2 specific not to make
any confusion since Audacious2 2.1.0 is available in Karmic universe
repositories.
