Oh interesting, did not think of that nor knew dbus had that. I'll take
a look at how its done in MediaPlayer2 then but I somewhat assume that
this would only work after started banshee atleast once? (which will
kickstart the thinclient). If it works no matter that does sound like a
really smart solution and creating that thin client along with a upnp
client for banshee might be a good project?
