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/1087186 Title: "play" when rb is not running should not popup its window To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-sound/+bug/1087186/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
