Re: [Banshee-List] Banshee Plugin creation

[Patrick van Staveren <trick vanstaveren us>]

I agree, this plugin would be very useful.  The banshee-sample-plugin  
on svn.banshee-project.org should be up to date and provide a good  
starting template (I've based every plugin I've written on that).

Also, as a FYI, make sure that you're developing against banshee from  
CVS - the D-Bus stuff has changed up quite a bit in the last few weeks  
and probably isn't backwards compatible.  While it might be nice to  
develop against banshee 0.11.0, it'd suck to have to rewrite your  
D-Bus code in a month or two for it to work with banshee 0.11.1.

I'm no pro at D-Bus, but I've written a few apps that connect to  
Banshee and other software over D-Bus and it'd be just as easy to  
connect to gnome-screensaver.  You'd probably have to consult with  
Abock or Alp on exactly how to do this as I haven't worked at all with  
the new managed D-Bus.  I wrote an app that connects to banshee over  
D-Bus; you can see the classes I've used [1].  You can also peek at  
the banshee remote player in the CVS tree that uses the managed D-Bus  
[2].

Good luck, and poke me on IRC (trick) if you need any pointers (or  
alpha testers!)

Cheers,

Patrick
