Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] [SOLVED] Why `rhythmbox-client --enqueue <file>` works only if <file> is already present in library ?

[Seemanta Dutta <seemanta gmail com>]

I got it!! I had the sources and when looked into the them realized that if we don't give any option with rhythmbox-client it simply imports that file uri. :-). So I first call rhythmbox-client without any arguments to import it if needed. Then again call rhythmbox-client --enqueue to actually enqueue my file.

However, the fact that no option imports the file needs to be documented in the man page for rhythmbox. Shall I submit a patch for the same?

By the way, my nautilus plugin(right-click and add to Play Queue plugin) is working now ;-). Do let me know if you need it and I shall mail it across. Don't want to spam everyone by sending it unsolicited.

regards,
Seemanta

Sorry, I forgot to mention in my last mail that I did try --play-uri. But if I do that, it plays the file as well. I don't want to play the file.
Only enqueue it to the playlist and importing it if necessary.

If the feature I have requested is not there in the current version, then I would be glad to submit a patch :-)

Did you try:
rhyhtmbox-client --play-uri=file:///path/to/file

According to rhythmbox-client --help:
"--play-uri=URI to play     Play a specified URI, importing it if necessary"
