i guess this will start someplayer and automatically play whatever someplayer was playing as at the last time(the playlist in this case)?

To start and play use:

Code:

someplayer && sleep 20 && dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=ru.somebody.someplayer / ru.somebody.someplayer.toggle

This command runs someplayer, waits for 20 seconds and starts playing last played song or first song in playlist.

someplayer starts uite all right, but it does not play any file, and does not even show my playlist.
the x-terminal show --segmentation fault.

Oh, yes, I'm still sleepy

Create a script file (e.g. start_someplayer.sh) in /home/user directory:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
someplayer &
sleep 20 
dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=ru.somebody.someplayer / ru.somebody.someplayer.toggle

then add permissions to execute:

Code:

$ chmod +x /home/user/start_someplayer.sh

then add this command to alarmd (or try to invoke this in terminal):

Code:

/home/user/start_someplayer.sh

1. maybe am the one not doing something right! it now show playlist, but does not automatically play them.

2. i will like it to be able to automatically play so that i don"t need to press the play button manually. this code (mplayer -playlist mylist.txtworks) for mplayer. i guess this is because mplayer is a command line player.

3. thanks alot for your help.

what i really want to accomplish is fairly simple: i drive to work about 8am each day so as soon as i enter the car (8am) i put on the fm radio in the car and i want the my n900 to start playing a specified song or audiobook (in a playlist).

i know the code for the fm transmitter on the n900.

i want to use alarmed to schedule it such that it everything ends/stops after about 45 mins- which is about the time i take to commute to work.

somebody, thanks alot. everything now work fine. it is now automatically playing the files. i reduce the sleep time considerably to 4, hope thats ok?
i forgot to ask, what is the command line to stop it? grrrhhhhhhhh

is it ok to use killall someplayer? i intend to use this as a script following ur earlier steps, and then input it into someplayer.

thanks. so very much.

I tried creating the sh script but when i execute it it launches someplayer with an empty playlist - why is that? when it is executed from the hildon desktop shortcut it works fine...

different user.
If you start someplayer via shortcut - user is 'user', but (looks like) alarmd starts as root. Try to add sudo -u user before:

Code:

sudo -u user someplayer

the same command:

Code:

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=ru.somebody.someplayer / ru.somebody.someplayer.toggle

Code:

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=ru.somebody.someplayer / ru.somebody.someplayer.stop

bumping again....

I have noticed a bug.

when browsing the list of mp3's, i notice that some files are just displayed as the first letter of the file.

this is only for files where "." is the second letter of the file
Example:
"R.E.M. - Drive" is displayed as "R"
"M.M.A.I. - Pete Yorn - Strange Condition" is displayed as "M"
NOTE: M.M.A.I = Me Myself and Irene

Also i do not have any ID3 Tags (really hate ID3 tags, yes im weird i know...)
