dBus interfaces needed for Remuco remote controller (please!)

[linuxgeoff]

I've been using Banshee for 2-3 years; it's the only player that gives all the features I need and will handle my huge library. A remote controller was the missing piece (i've tried everything and had ended up with VNC on Wifi pocket PC). Then along came Remuco. Remuco is the missing piece: remote control of most players from any java device with wifi or bluetooth. It works great and offers all sorts of features on most players, except Banshee. It looks like becoming a std distro component (it is in ubuntu 9.10, I believe). Unfortunately, it is quite limited with Banshee because of the limited set of dBus functions (http://code.google.com/p/remuco/wiki/Features). So - please - can you add in some of the functions that the authors of Remuco are asking for (http://www.nabble.com/DBus-implementation-status-tp22162457p22162457.html). many thanks. G.

You should file them as separate bugs in BGO [1]. Item 5 from the list
is already there [2]

I have written a small daemon for LIRC that does the standard playing/pausing/stopping, skipping forward and skipping backward. It's written in python, I can send you the code to have a look at?
 
You should also look into D-Feet, it can help you decypher the undocumented parts of Banshee's DBUS Api

Thanks. I have forwarded this to the remuco authors. I believe that what is really needed is for the Banshee team to add additional command & info. interfaces to their dbus channel, so that the remuco folks can include the extra functions in their app (which is awesome, btw). For several other players, Remuco have advanced features, such as playlist navigation, they just can't do it with banshee Anyone able to help? Thanks, geoff
