Re: Plugin Amarok

[Rafael Brundo Uriarte <rafael uriarte gmail com>]

Hi Andreas,

I am sorry, I ended up wasting time, yours is very good(I decided to
develop because I looked for it in google and in the list but did not
find any post or plugin for amarok). I am not sure whether we can
launch  amarok from dbus, the best way would be to check if it is
running (ps aux ) and if not to start and send the play signal. What
do you think???


About the plugins, couldn't we have a wiki to post the plugins and
documentation? I've seems many reviews about missing docs but I did
not find any place to centralize it. A good example would be what
gnome-do do:
http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/Category:Plugins
It's a place to upload them and write some documentation about it...

Tomorrow I will start a volume control plugin and will be posting here

cheers
