Re: [Banshee-List] Help with Banshee & D-Bus.

Cheers. I have been able to get this working fine on my laptop. Something funky was happening on my work computer so couldn't find out any info. For what it's worth here's how to do it:

To pause: 
dbus-send --session --dest=org.gnome.Banshee --type=method_call
--print-reply --reply-timeout=1000 /org/gnome/Banshee/Player
org.gnome.Banshee.Core.Pause

To start playing again..
dbus-send --session --dest=org.gnome.Banshee --type=method_call --print-reply --reply-timeout=1000 /org/gnome/Banshee/Player org.gnome.Banshee.Core.Play

Thanks for your help.

Hi Grant,

Are you using the latest code from trunk (or 1.0 Alpha 1)?  This is
our latest release, but it is still under very active development, and
probably just doesn't yet have the DBus methods/events you need.  You
should be able to use d-feet or dbus-explorer to see what we are
currently exposing.  Please file bugs for methods we should have but
don't.

Good luck,

Gabriel
