Re: [Banshee-List] Plugin method

[Aaron Bockover <abockover novell com>]

Okay, you pushed me to finally write a D-Bus example client program.
Committed are two new files:

src/BansheeDbusClient.cs
src/BansheeDbusClient.Makefile

And src/Makefile.am has been updated so you can run "make
dbus-client-sample" or just:

make -f BansheeDbusClient.Makefile

inside src/

You can also just fetch the two files here, and build where you please:

http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/banshee/src/BansheeDbusClient.cs
http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/banshee/src/BansheeDbusClient.Makefile

Read the messages in the source header. 

For kicks, I wrote a display client in Bash last night, but I do not
recommend using it as it will start a banshee process about 5 times a
second to do some stuff over D-Bus... it is slow and eats your CPU, but
interesting nonetheless:

Looking forward to those photos!

Best,
Aaron
