Bizzare Playlist entry when starting xfmedia with session management
Status:

Product:

Component:

Description Erik Harrison 2004-11-18 19:18:17 CET
When logging in using session management I get a entry listed in the playlist
(previously empty) that looks thusly

#   Title                                  Length
1   117f000001000110080448700000283960003  00:00

Double clicking this entry does nothing, getting file info on it yields a file
cannot be opened error, and removing it causes it to disappear until I log in again.

benny, could you tell me what all the session-management related cmdline options
are, and which ones also require an extra argument?  i unthinkingly "fixed" the
SM problem by ignoring all cmdline options starting with '-', but of course
forgot that they take arguments.

The session manager uses whatever you specify for the SmRestartCommand (or in
case of X11R5 session management, the WM_COMMAND property) to restart the
application.

Brian, you specify the command

 xfmedia --display :0.0 --sm-client-id 11c0a80002000110082156700000005780000

as RestartCommand to xfce4-session and thats how xfmedia is restarted afterwards.

ok, thanks.  i was just using libgui's SessionClient, and i didn't know offhand
what it was doing.

this should be hacked around in CVS, though i'll be doing this in another way
when i get around to adding some real cmdline parameters to xfmedia.

While we are at it: Please add the possibility to enqueue items.
Comment 6 Brian J. Tarricone (not reading bugmail) 2004-11-19 20:15:28 CET
it's there already, actually.  it's just not hooked up to a command line arg
(rather, a 'client' hasn't been written yet).  see README.remote.

now let's stop using this bug like a discussion board ^_^
