tri1976 - Thisprobably won't help you since you're already at version 1.1.5 but for others who haven't  upgraded yet...
I first install gmb 1.0.2 and have it find my music. (auto-finding album art still works in 1.0.2).
Once it finds all my music - and album art - I upgrade to 1.1.5.
Any music added after the upgrade requires manually selecting the album art.

I added the word tracknumber to mpris.pm... My line 100 looks now like your example...
After starting GMB, the problems persists...
FYI: The tracknumber field in the Information popup looks like this:
Track n? 0

Just so you know, I don't use notifiers/information popups.. I only turn them on in GMB & Cairo to test the GMB/mpris features... The ones that I use - stop start, pause, and album art - are working great!!  :D

So it's not a show stopper for me.. Still, if you need someone to test this or any other feature with GMB/mpris, let me know!  :)

After installing the new MPRIS plugin, I used Glx-Dock to start and stop GMB...
I clicked play, stop, pause, reverse, forward, and other buttons in Glx-Dock and GMB responded fine...

The only issue is with the Information button in Glx-Dock... When clicked, it displays information about the song in a popup window... The album, artist, song, and length display but not the track number...

This may not be an MPRIS plugin issue - I can't tell - but the command dbus-monitor does show the tracknumber and other song information.

I installed the mpris plugin the day after you uploaded it...
I was just waiting for a version of Glx-Dock/Cairo-Dock that properly supported GMB without a lot of fudging about...
The wait is over: http://www.glx-dock.org/tt_task.php?p=2&t=59

The mpris plugin works great!!! Thank you!!

For anyone that wants to get GMB working with Glx-Dock/Cairo-Dock:
1. Install GMB 1.1.x
2. Install and enable the mpris plugin (see previous message for instructions)
3. Install Glx-Dock 2.2.0 (This is the development version. The stable 2.1.3 won't work).
4. Enable musicPlayer plugin in Glx-Dock and select gmusicplayer from the list of players.
5. Enjoy the sweet holy goodness that is GMB in Glx-Dock  :P

Tonight, the lyricsplugin.com site is working in gmb...
As for alternate lyric sites, www.lyricsvip.com may be a good choice...
They have a large selection of lyrics.

The first letters of each word must be uppercase and spaces are replaced with a - (dash).
Here are some examples:
http://www.lyricsvip.com/Stone-Temple-Pilots/Lounge-Fly-Lyrics.html
http://www.lyricsvip.com/Stone-Temple-Pilots/Meat-Plow-Lyrics.html
http://www.lyricsvip.com/Stone-Temple-Pilots/Big-Empty-Lyrics.html

[http://lyricsvip.com]

The lyrics plugin points to lyricsplugin.com which is no longer working...
When i copy/paste the URL in a browser, the lyrics displays.
From gmb though, I get a blank page with the text http://lyricsvip.com in the middle.

Thanks ochosi and Quentin, I was able to get the cover art to display by editing /usr/share/gmusicbrowser/layout and commenting out the last two lines of [D_insens_song_cover] and then inserting the VBmain line from [D_buttons_song_cover]. I also increased maxsize from 0 to 100.

#VBText          = 2HBTitle 2HBArtist 2HBAlbum
#VBmain         = VBText _Cover(maxsize=0,xalign=0,yalign=0)
VBmain           = HBbuttons 2HBTitle 2HBArtist 2HBAlbum -Cover(forceratio=1,maxsize=100)

It's not an elegant solution, but it works. :)

Sweet...
Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

[Insensitive, Song, & Cover]

The Insensitive, Song, & Cover plugin displays song information on the desktop but not the cover art.
Any idea which file I need to change/edit in order to get the cover to display?

The Button, Song, & Cover plugin does display the cover art.
I'm using GMB 1.1.5 on Fedora 13.

[PS]

I have been using gmusicbrowser (1.0.2 and 1.1.5) for several weeks. It's been working so well in that short time that I've made it my primary music player in Fedora 13.

I would like add a suggestion to your Planned features/fixes list for getting MPRIS support in gmusicplayer. It's supported in music players that are less robust than gmusicbrowser such as audacious, banshee, exaile, listen, quod libet, and rhythmbox. Plus, gmusicplayer with MPRIS will be able to be controlled from cairo-dock, awn, and similar docks.

I hope you consider supporting MPRIS in gmusicbrowser.
