[Rhythmbox-devel] Rhythmbox plugin StartQueueShuffle

[Peter Papp <peter papp p gmail com>]

Hi,

I have created a simple little plug-in for Rhythmbox, and I would like 
to share it. I registered on https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Rhythmbox, but 
I can not add the link to the 3rd party plug-ins page. I get a "You are 
not allowed to edit this page" message.

The plugin can be found at 
http://rhythmbox-startqueueshuffle.sourceforge.net

This came about to satisfy my personal needs but I'm guessing others 
will find it useful too. The problem was that shuffling the entire 
collection does play some tracks more often than others. So I added all 
my tracks to the queue, which is great because once a track is played it 
is removed. But that has another drawback: the queue's order is re-set 
across restarts. So I created this little thing (my first Python code 
btw), all it does is shuffle the queue after some delay. The delay is 
needed so Rhythmbox can load the queue before the plugin kicks in.

As this my first post. My name's Peter, I live in Ohio. I'm a software 
developer for quite a few years now. Dropped all Win stuff back around 
when XP SP1 came out, happily using Linux ever since for everything I 
need to do. Hope to be able to contribute a bit, too. Thanks for all the 
great stuff you people created!
