Description Andrej Čremožnik 2010-08-08 01:12:59 UTC

Version:           1.2.3 (using KDE 4.4.3) 
OS:                Linux

If it's doable, I'd like to request support for additional media players in the media script[1].

The two applications such support would be much appreciated for are SMPlayer[2] and VLC[3].

Reproducible: Didn't try

VLC would be possible. It has an optional D-Bus interface following the MEPIS spec these days, so if we add support for MEPIS we'd get it for free.

SMPlayer however has no D-Bus interface or similar at all, so the best we could do there is window title scraping for the filename.

Windows title scraping doesn't sound so bad at all. Thanks for considering this wishlist item.

We already do the scraping for KMPlayer (or was it KPlayer? also a MPlayer frontend in any case), so I guess one more doesn't hurt ;).

The new media script on master exclusively implements MPRIS2, with no plans to support anything else. On the flip side, recent versions of VLC implement MPRIS2.
