Description Francesco Nwokeka 2011-03-28 13:04:08 UTC

Version:           git-latest (using KDE 4.6.1) 
OS:                Linux

Add the possibility to detect currently playing music from the desktop and set the user's peronal message to the song info( "<artist>-<song name>" ).
This feature should be activated by the user via settings + a button on the contact-list to quickly switch settings ( on/off ).

Reproducible: Didn't try

Comment 1 Alin M Elena 2011-03-28 14:15:27 UTC

for amarok... and I suspect for other mpris compatible players you can get the info about the playing track via

qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.amarok /Player org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.GetMetadata

that returns a QVariantMap

and the state of the track via the signal
org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.amarok /Player org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.TrackChange

Comment 2 David Edmundson 2011-03-28 15:14:18 UTC

This is functionality that should NOT be done in the contact list.

The accounts remain online even after you close the contact list, and it's designed to get away from being one monolithic application. 

I'm not sure where the right place is it could be done as an Amarok plugin, or in a daemon like the approver (or the integration daemon?) which are always running when telepathy is.
