Is it that simple??? media player control, with d-bus scripts on QBW

when I reviewed some d-bus script, I found this one: http://wiki.maemo.org/Phone_control#...rently_playing

dbus-send --dest=com.nokia.mafw.renderer.Mafw-Gst-Renderer-Plugin.gstrenderer /com/nokia/mafw/renderer/gstrenderer com.nokia.mafw.renderer.pause

and then I thought that would be helpful if you could with similar scripts to control the music through QBW ...

then only i replaced "pause", with appropriate command ... AND ITWORKS! : D
here's the script:
PLAY:
dbus-send --dest=com.nokia.mafw.renderer.Mafw-Gst-Renderer-Plugin.gstrenderer /com/nokia/mafw/renderer/gstrenderer com.nokia.mafw.renderer.play
PAUSE:
dbus-send --dest=com.nokia.mafw.renderer.Mafw-Gst-Renderer-Plugin.gstrenderer /com/nokia/mafw/renderer/gstrenderer com.nokia.mafw.renderer.pause
STOP:
dbus-send --dest=com.nokia.mafw.renderer.Mafw-Gst-Renderer-Plugin.gstrenderer /com/nokia/mafw/renderer/gstrenderer com.nokia.mafw.renderer.stop
PREVIOUS:
dbus-send --dest=com.nokia.mafw.renderer.Mafw-Gst-Renderer-Plugin.gstrenderer /com/nokia/mafw/renderer/gstrenderer com.nokia.mafw.renderer.previous
NEXT:
dbus-send --dest=com.nokia.mafw.renderer.Mafw-Gst-Renderer-Plugin.gstrenderer /com/nokia/mafw/renderer/gstrenderer com.nokia.mafw.renderer.next

and you could rearrange it on your desktop in a manner so it would you be comfortable if you using it with your one hand! :D
great, isn't it?? :)

but now..... it would be cool if i knew a script for Fast Forward.... Rewind.... or best thing it would be if it could skip or go back 5-10 sec.... (if you press a widget for a longer time, it will be shown a "desktop menu"...)
and another thing....: Pause cmd only pauses the song... it won't continue... (play cmd starts from beginning of the song....)

SO PEOPLE... if you could help me with finding a proper scripts (for missing ones), i would be grateful! :)

P.S. and i found a way to make a PHONE APP icon (widget in this case) bigger! ;)
THX No!No!No!Yes! for QBW ;)

Sure.

Code:

dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mafw.renderer.Mafw-Gst-Renderer-Plugin.gstrenderer /com/nokia/mafw/renderer/gstrenderer com.nokia.mafw.renderer.set_position int32:1 int32:5

^ skips by 5 seconds

Code:

dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mafw.renderer.Mafw-Gst-Renderer-Plugin.gstrenderer /com/nokia/mafw/renderer/gstrenderer com.nokia.mafw.renderer.set_position int32:1 int32:-5

^ goes back by 5 seconds

http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/5.0-fi...r-set-position explains the meaning of the first int32 argument.

Code:

dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mafw.renderer.Mafw-Gst-Renderer-Plugin.gstrenderer /com/nokia/mafw/renderer/gstrenderer com.nokia.mafw.renderer.get_position

gets the current elapsed time.

Oh, you want:

Code:

dbus-send --dest=com.nokia.mafw.renderer.Mafw-Gst-Renderer-Plugin.gstrenderer /com/nokia/mafw/renderer/gstrenderer com.nokia.mafw.renderer.resume

Get current state:

Code:

#!/bin/sh



#Thanks http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/maemo/developers/60881

mode=$(dbus-send --print-reply=literal --dest=com.nokia.mafw.renderer.Mafw-Gst-Renderer-Plugin.gstrenderer /com/nokia/mafw/renderer/gstrenderer com.nokia.mafw.renderer.get_status | tr '\n' ' ' | awk '{print $6}')



case $mode in

        0)

        echo "Stopped"

        ;;



        1)

        echo "Playing"

        ;;



        2)

        echo "Paused"

        ;;



        3)

        echo "Transitioning"

        ;;

Re: Is it that simple??? media player control, with d-bus scripts on QBW

This looks good. Would it be possible to rotate the queenbeecon widgets by 90 degrees so that we could have a portrait desktop containing info on various system states, and music controls?

well.... as far as music controls: you can add a image to widget, but only it won't rotate,.... but, you can make her rotate (that is what i am about to do) ;)
and hey... there's a some brainstorming for QBW developers: can they make a rotate output function???? O_o :)

No!No!No!Yes!

@neboja: you mentioned in your first post that you found a way to make a PHONE APP icon (widget in this case) bigger. Could you please advise how? This relates to a brainstorm session I opened

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=54919

Thanks in advance.

and that you just put a cmd that lunches a phone. AND you just put a image into it, and there it is...
but check the QBW thread for instructions of how to do that ;)

and the cmd for bringing a phone app you can find on wiki ;)

No!No!No!Yes!

Code:

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr /com/nokia/HildonDesktop/AppMgr com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr.LaunchApplication string:"<application name here>"

where <application name here> is application name that you can find in /usr/share/applications/hildon directory w/o trailing .desktop

Example for launching the image viewer:

Code:

/usr/bin/dbus-send --dest=com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr /com/nokia/HildonDesktop/AppMgr com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr.LaunchApplication string:image-viewer

some applications might accept extra parameters by adding extra "string:<parameter here>" to the command

Been tweaking around with this a lot and trying to get an all-in-one type thing set up for FM transmitter. Just wondering if anyone knows dbus command to get current song name (if that's at all possible.. and if not.. an alternative way to do it?)

You can experiment a bit with QBW DBUS monitor

Not tried myself, though!
Let me know how/if you managed.

Re: Is it that simple??? media player control, with d-bus scripts on QBW

Hi, is there a mafw dbus call to just add a new song in the media player? I went though http://wiki.maemo.org/Phone_control but the dbus call mentioned there for "Open file in media player" opens the media player app and plays it as well.
Is there a way to only add a certain song and not invoke the media player and play it?

Re: Is it that simple??? media player control, with d-bus scripts on QBW

Ok, I monitored the dbus commands sent by MediaBox.

Apparently there's a play_uri member in the com.nokia.mafw.renderer interface that takes the file path as the argument. Using this, even if the song still plays, the media player doesn't get invoked.

Re: Is it that simple??? media player control, with d-bus scripts on QBW

Sticking to the subject, is there a way to catch (via Dbus) when a phone call ends and a song will resume?

That way we can substitute Headphone Daemon feature. Not that the application is bad or anything but it would be nice to have it in QWB as well (on this occasion thanks to Thomas Perl & No!No!No!Yes! for their apps).

Thanks!
