[Rhythmbox-devel] rb applet

[William Jon McCann <mccannwj pha jhu edu>]

Hi,

I have made an attempt at creating a panel applet for rhythmbox.  It 
seems to work fairly well considering this is a first try.

<http://acs.pha.jhu.edu/~mccannwj/rhythmbox/rb-applet-0.1.tar>

This code drops into the top level of HEAD and the build is enabled by 
the attached patch.

There are two known issues:

* There doesn't seem to be an easy way to determine if RB is paused. 
 From the IDL:
    long getPlayingTime ();         /* returns -1 if not playing */

But when a song is paused the playing time just stays the same, and is 
positive.

This makes it hard to update the play/pause button state.

* When the applet is added to the panel, RB will restart after it is exited.


Please let me know what you think.  This is my first applet so be kind ;).

Jon

PS. I used the GNOME-cdplayer-applet code as a template so things 
shouldn't be too wierd.
