Do you plan to make it available for 64bits Linux ?

brunods

Could you make it available for sb 0.6?

jigarshah

How do i use it with pidgin to show what i am playing ?

kissthechaos

How did you get it to work on emesene?

Doc_McCoy

Hi, nice plugin. But it is still a bit buggy. "playing" and "stopped" status are working well, sadly "paused" isn't working.

Furthermore I have a problem with shoutcast internet radio:
getTitle = name of the radio station
getArtist = unknown
getAlbum = unknown

All right. But the Artistname and Title are broadcasted as one phrase by the internet stream.
And dbusbird doesn't detect this information.

Deathcrush

Just what I'd been looking for. Would like to also be able to return the following

Track Number
Date / Year
Bitrate
Length of track (in seconds)
Filename and/or Fileformat

DBus interface to the MPRIS specification would be really useful

Works well, although there is a problem. It returns only the first 30 characters. Can you fix that? It would be better if they dont get truncated.

This add-on makes songbird 0.7 crash when used with the Shoutcast radio add-on. Everytime an station is playing songbird crashes.
Another issue is that aMSN has a music plugin, that now has the feature of showing the info from Songbird, but it uses this add-on to get the info, but no info is shown because I get this error on the plugin:

can't read "::music::config(separator)": no such element in array

I already posted this issue to the plugin developers, but just in case I was letting you people know.

Would it be possible using this extension to write a conky-compatible python script using DBus to display Songbird info in conky?

stormblast

there is a problem in dbus. when dbus is enabled i cannot use shouthcast because songbird immidiately crashes and i have to disable dbus in order to listen to radio.im in ubuntu 8.10. is there anything i should do?

fcastillo

Has there been any progress for this add-on? Made it compatible with the RC3 would be something nice, even better if you can make it work for the final version. It's an awesome add-on, thanks for the good work

BassMan449

Is there any intention of making this addon capable of starting and stopping music? If not would you be willing to release your source code so others (myself included) could add that functionality?

stormblast

can anyone tell me why i cant listen to shoutcast streams with dbusbird enabled and how can i fix it?

fcastillo

I'm having the same problem, I even opened a bug, and post it here before but it seems that hasn't been fix. I'd love to be able to use DBus while I'm listening to my shoutcast stations.

Deathcrush

How do I remove the 30 character limit?

Vernier

I've added support for the Dbusbird interface to pidgin-musictracker so you can use this to feed now-playing information to pidgin.

The_Keeganator

Can you have a longer character limit.
Also can you have how much the song has played.

Hi inf3rn0,

I'm using your plugin for a better integration of songbird into the Avant Window Navigator. I'm wondering if it is possible to add functions like start(), pause(), next(), prev() using the playback component:

// just a foobar example ;)
var playback = Components.classes["@songbirdnest.com/Songbird/PlaylistPlayback;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.sbIPlaylistPlayback)

if(playback.playing && !playback.paused) {
playback.pause();
} else {
playback.play();
}

This would really enhance your plugin. I would try it on my own, but I couldn't find any source code...

Anigma

Does this work on x64?

valuser

It would be great when there is also a function to increase/decrease the volume of songbird.

theaulddubliner

i'm getting ""DBusbird" could not be installed because it is not compatible with your Songbird build type (Linux_x86-gcc3). Please contact the author of this item about the problem."

running 1.1.1 on Ubuntu Linux 6.10 32bit

theaulddubliner

that works fine now - thanks inf3rn0

Nonick

Where can i find the source code?
(Searching google code gives only pidgin-musictracker references)

BadChoice

Hi! I'm developing a Coversutra for linux, and I would like to use this dbus extension for songbird, the problem, is that getFile method return me unknown.. could it be possible to return the uri of the file?

Thanks a lot!

BadChoice

I forgot on the previous post, I would like to have the song rating as well, is it possible?
Thanks!!

BadChoice

Well, I've now a working version of CoverGloobus, it works pretty well for banshee.. I would like to add those songbird dbus actions, if you can't do it, can you give me the code so I can update it!

Thanks!

To test my application:

Thanks!

Jerome

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

Jerome

Mmm... It's not working with "emesene"
I have nothing!
I'm on Ubuntu 8.10 intrepid Ibex

Jerome

I put SongBird ans now it put "not running" on the option.
I use SongBird 1.1.2

Lumpenturd

I attempted to install 0.2.2.4 64 bit on songbird 1.1.2, and I'm getting an error that it's not compatible.

Light-

To make it work with latest songbird, unzip the .xpi file somewhere. Edit the install.rdf and change <em:maxversion>1.1.1</em:maxversion> to <em:maxversion>1.1.2</em:maxversion>

Save install.rdf and rezip everything. rename the zipfile to .xpi and try installing it.
Worked for me :)

nnewbill

The above works for installing it... but if you look in the addons window and try to configure it, it tells you that it is not compatible.

Would really like this updated for 1.1.2 whenever you get a chance.

Thanks for the wonderful addon.

elvasco86

I need the x64 Version :S

justnj

I tried amending the .rdf file as in the comment above, still unable to to install. Is there a version for 1.2 coming soon?

inukaze

Man i can't use the add-on , i have "Song Bird 1.2.0 Build 1146 (20090616030029)" This add on.

Which Older version i need to use it ????

elvasco86

Me tomé el atrevimiento de modificarlo para que funcione en la version 1.2.0, espero q no te moleste:

Para la version 1.2.0 o anterior: http://rapidshare.com/files/260825573/dbusbird_x86.xpi.html

elvasco86

Despues de testearlo un poco, no funciona ¬¬ se queda colgado

koxmoz

No estaría nada mal una versión para X86_64, lamentablemente no se nada de eso sino ya estaría metiendo mano·!·!·

es que quiero mostrar mi estado en aMSN y no puedo creo que me falta esta extensión·!·!·

xanatos

hi, I want to install this plug in for my songbir to use in my emesene but the green button is nost available how can I get this plug in or just I'll copy the script ???

thanks.

Debian.bird

please una versión de x64 !!1

BR-Charles

Please,

It should be updated for songbird 1.2.0 and 1.4 releases. I can't use the music plugin in my amsn.

Please, take care of this. Thank you.

siabost

Hey!

Me too - I'm on V1.2 but presumably this will become 1.3 or 1.4 soon.

Looking forward to having it back again.

There should be a set of "premium" add-ons to be updated and released along with each new official version of Songbird - and this should be one of them! :-)

Thanks

Spike1506

I would like to see a feature which makes it possible to get the album art of the song.

thesmyth

@Spike1506 and others, you might want to go take a look at my extension, since it supports everything this one does and more, and this one doesn't seem to be under active development anymore.
