Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] keyboard shortcuts for rating

[Wolfgang Steitz <wsteitz googlemail com>]

Hi!

I just discovered the "rhythmbox-client --set-rating" command in the development version and added some of these with different ratings to gnome global shortcuts.  Works perfect. Thanks! 
Maybe a rhythmbox plugin could make the setting of shortcuts a bit easier. Is something planned in this direction?

Hi all,

I would love to rate songs via keyboard shortcuts, e.g. SUPER+5 gives a 5-star rating to the current song. How can I accomplish this?

My idea was to write a python script which sets the rating and map this script to the desired shortcut via System → Preferences → Keyboard Shortcuts. The script is working, but I did not manage to map it to a shortcut. Is there a simpler way, without using a python script?

Cheers,
Wolfgang
