I have an additional question on this...

Can you explain a bit how the cover art is pulled?  It seems as if it does not follow the standard getcoverart

Most players take the cover image to the /tmp directory in some form,  but GMB seems to locate and find whatever first one it can in the directory structure...

It also does not seem to find embedded art, but that is what my scripts do..

If you want i can send you a script showing you what I mean...

BTW, everything else MPRIS works perfectly... thanks!

I have to respond to this as well...

I use a lot of players to help write Conky scripts for them... and any player that is based on Python or Perl, on mys system sounds 100 times better than any other player..

I have never been able to pinpoint it as to why, it just does...

GMB, Exaile, Pogo, Quod Libet  all sound so much richer and louder.. and the common denominator is perl or python

Thank you... I should have run my own dbus command not depended solely on D-Feet..

I apologize for this...
I will work on the scripts and should have them ready shortly..

I appreciate the help and GMusic B!!

I have tried the plugin but it does not have any of the following:

album
artist
arturl
bitrate
genre
location
mtime
time
title

that are standard in the GetMetadata

I use D-Feet D-Bus Dbugger and it shows the mpris/dbus  settings from gmusicbrowser  and there is no GetMetadata function at all

This command shows what a player that does have it, in this case Guayadeque, when run from a command line and is mirrored in D-feet D-Bus

Code Select Expand


[code]dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.guayadeque /TrackList org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.GetMetadata int32:0

This is the terminal outcome of that command and where the data from the scripts I write come from

method return sender=:1.404 -> dest=:1.576 reply_serial=2
   array [
      dict entry(
         string "location"
         variant             string "file:///media/storage/Music/mp3new/Classic Rock/'Til Tuesday/'Til Tuesday - Coming Up Close.mp3"
      )
      dict entry(
         string "title"
         variant             string "Coming Up Close"
      )
      dict entry(
         string "artist"
         variant             string "'Til Tuesday"
      )
      dict entry(
         string "album"
         variant             string "'Til Tuesday"
      )
      dict entry(
         string "time"
         variant             int32 283
      )
      dict entry(
         string "mtime"
         variant             int32 283000
      )
      dict entry(
         string "genre"
         variant             string "Classic Rock"
      )
      dict entry(
         string "bitrate"
         variant             int32 167
      )
   ]
[/code]

And again this is mirrored in D-Feet D-Bus

In Gmusicbrowser there is no function for the GetMetadata.

I am using the latest version 1.1.6 that was I pulled from the deb posted on WebUpd8 here

Thank you

Requesting full MPRIS standards to be implemented. 

Standards can be reviewed here http://xmms2.org/wiki/MPRIS

Specifically the metadata and GetMetadata standards ...

With these, I could include Gmusicbrowser in the conky scripting I have setup for several other players. These scripts bring the dbus information to the conky screen using standard MPRIS protocol.  This would bring in many Conky users who look for this in their players

Full MPRIS is a feature in all major players.

For me, I love gmusicbrowser, but will not use it without this feature.

Thank you.
