I'd like to use this service menu, too, but it doesn't work. I did everything as you said (added dbus) and even tried the following: qdbus org.mpris.vlc /TrackList org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.AddTrack "/home/mark/Tkiat.mp3" 0 But this results in an error: Cannot find 'org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.AddTrack' in object /TrackList at org.mpris.vlc How can I fix this issue?! Thank you in advance! Regards, Chipy

Sorry, I forgot to add the information of the system I'm using: KDE 4.10.5 Ubuntu 13.04 Kernel: 3.8.0-29-generic Hope this helps to resolve the issue.

nowardev

ok now we can test , 1) launch vlc 2) do this replace /PATH/FILE with your file video qdbus org.mpris.vlc /TrackList org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.AddTrack "/PATH/FILE" 0 3) i have seen dbus error ; which distro have you ? i am not sure but it seems an issue with your vlc installation

nowardev

omg you did it wrong.... wtf i said 1 start vlc (and you didn't ) 2 qdbus org.mpris.vlc /TrackList org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.AddTrack "/PATH/FILE" 0 where fucking /path/file is the path! i mean /home/bla bla lba/film.avi and not film.avi are you trolling me ? :S

masterdany88

I've enabled dbus, but it dosnt work. I've clicked folder-apped vlc in RMB The vlc starts and I got that info Vlc is starting , ..please wait and nothing plays on I've waited for few minutes and still nothing

nowardev

nowardev

masterdany88

VLC media player 1.1.12 The Luggage (revision exported) no I havent used playlist

nowardev

1) i have just tested on vlc 1-1-12 and it works if the folders has a lots of files that are not multimedia files it can take a lots. 2)just try with a folder with a lots of music and less stuff that is not music. 3) click on playlist because it willl not play files untill you click on play. it will just add files into your playlist... 4)have your read this on description ? NOTE #################################### 0.6 should work with vlc 1.x and 2.0 but i have just tested on 2.0 version so.... if you have vlc 1.x just download the 0.5 version ######################################

...but doesn't really work for me. the current video will be skipped and the appended file immediately starts to play. in v0.1 and v0.2. i'm using kubuntu 9.10, KDE 4.3.5. can someone confirm this?? will;

nowardev

mmm on kubuntu with kde 4.3.4 it works fine... but i have just upgraded... and seems it doesn't work .... i think some packages of kde 4.3.5 is broken.. or maybe i should reboot... but i am feeling scared about it...

nowardev

no ok it's working on kde 4.3.5 too i have installed another version xD that has some trouble... 0.2 should work fine into kde 4.3.5 too , but it start from the last track ... if i get some time i will try to fix this

DjNeophyte
