new extension to write current track info to a text file
Last modified: 2011-02-15 09:44:52 UTC
Created attachment 180441 [details] [review] new extension CurrentSongTextfile As I have seen requested some time ago, this extension writes the current track info into a text file .banshee-song in the user's home directory. The attached patch creates that new extension.
This is a great plugin for displaying that data across networks so that all users can see what song is playing. Would it be better to place it in to the /tmp directory? Would it be difficult to include a thumbnail for cover art as well?
I don't get the usefulness of this, but if people have asked for it, it's fine with me for BCE.
Hmm... for scripting there IS an easier way I guess: echo $(banshee --query-artist | sed 's/artist: //') - $(banshee --query-title | sed 's/title: //') [$(banshee --query-album | sed 's/album: //'), $(banshee --query-year | sed 's/year: //')] A BUTT plugin could do just that as well. won't commit, the code is here anyway.

I already know that searching for Butt plug-in is not going to answer that question. :")
