   Hello!

   I tryed your plugin and i think its very usefull! 🙂

   I try to code a plugin for rhythmbox, too, but i have a question:
   Do you know how i can react to key sequences with python?

   I asked already in the IRC channel, but it seems that nobofy knows a answer… do you have an idea?

   Sorry, im from Germany and 16, so my English isn`t the best ^^

   Hi Dubbel,

   If you mean keyboard combinations, like Ctrl+L, then you’d have to connect your functions to the appropriate GTK+ events. But I’d suggest writing a more detailed question on the rhythmbox-devel list, stating what it is you want to do, and posting example code, if you have any. Good luck. 🙂

   Ah, Thank you very much!
   I wasn’t sure wheater there is a function from rythmbix or not to check keyboard combinations…
   Goodbye,
   Hauke

   When I try to activate this plugin using rhythmbox 0.11.6 (Ubuntu 8.10) I get the message: “Unable to activate plugin Jump to Playing”. On the consulte I get:

   ImportError: No module named jump-to-playing
   (rhythmbox:7030): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Could not load plugin jump-to-playing
   (rhythmbox:7030): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Error, impossible to activate plugin ‘Jump to Playing’

   Hi Ed,

   I have the same setup and I just tried deleting my installed version, downloading the version(s) on this webpage, and restarting RB. I had no problems, so I’m not sure what the problem is. My only suggestion is to stop RB, remove the current ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/plugins/jump-to-playing folder and download/extract it again. There should be 4 files inside the jump-to-playing folder, at first. When you’ve done that, start RB again and see if the problem is still there. (After starting RB should compile and add two more files to the folder, so there should be six files.)

   Not sure if it will help anyone, but here’s a quick script for installation:

   # install jump-to-playing 0.3.1
   cd $HOME &&
   wget http://www.stevenbrown.ca/blog/files/2008/10/jump-to-playing-0.3.1.tar.gz
   
   # make sure the file downloaded properly
   if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
   	echo ' !! Could not download jump-to-playing plugin!'
   fi
   
   # delete old jump-to-playing plugin, if it exists
   if [ -d $HOME/.gnome2/rhythmbox/plugins/jump-to-playing/ ]; then
   	rm -r $HOME/.gnome2/rhythmbox/plugins/jump-to-playing/
   fi
   
   # create rhytmbox directory if it does not exist
   if [ ! -d $HOME/.gnome2/rhythmbox/plugins/ ]; then
   	mkdir -p $HOME/.gnome2/rhythmbox/plugins/
   fi
   
   # extract downloaded file to rhythmbox plugins directory
   if [ -f $HOME/jump-to-playing-0.3.1.tar.gz ]; then
   	tar -xvzf jump-to-playing-0.3.1.tar.gz -C $HOME/.gnome2/rhythmbox/plugins/ &&
   	rm $HOME/jump-to-playing-0.3.1.tar.gz
   else
   	echo ' !! Could not install jump-to-playing plugin!'
   fi

   Sorry Steve, your blog scrubbed some content in my script… such as && = &&

   If you fix that, then my script should work.

   Sorry :S

   Thanks for the script, Brett! I updated your comment to fix the double ampersands. Let me know if there’s anything else.

    I’m on Ubuntu 10.10, I didn’t have a ‘.gnome2’ directory. Had to unzip it in ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/plugins/

    Thanks for a the great plugin.

    Doesn’t work for me.. I’m on debian wheezy (testing) amd64 and rhythmbox 0.12.8-3.
    All songs are in a nfs mounted volume, but I don’t think this is the problem

    Mbiza, did you try both installation directories?

    Hi,

    I tried both install directories, but the plugin doesn’t show in Rhythmbox..

    Rhythmbox 2.90.1
    Xubuntu 11.10

    Hi tabasco,

    I actually have the same problem as you. And I’m sorry, I haven’t had a good chance to look into why. It seems 3rd party plugins don’t work on the 11.10 version of RB…. :/

    I will update here if anything changes.

    Hi Steve,

    I’m about to write a lyrics plugin for Rhythmbox (one that actually works) and thereby stumbled upon your plugin. I liked the idea and I ported the core functionality to work with the new Rhythmbox 3 (I removed the preference things though).
    I was just wondering, if you want me to send you the code or if you mind me pushing it to my github site (https://github.com/dmo60 , you can also find my lyrics plugin there and test it 😉 )

    Hi Timo,

    I wouldn’t mind at all. Please go ahead and push it. 🙂

    Alright, so you can find it here: https://github.com/dmo60/JumpToPlaying
    Feel free to download and use it 🙂

    Sweet! Totally awesome. Thanks Timo! 😀

    Updated this post to reflect the good news. 🙂
