Hello,
I have written a small plugin for Audacious
(http://audacious-media-player.org/), which utilises an external script to
retrieve lyrics and displays them in a window. I have a strange problem.
The way I call this external script is this:
result = g_spawn_async_with_pipes(NULL,
command,
NULL,
G_SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD,
NULL,
NULL,
&pid,
NULL,
&script_out,
&script_err,
&gerr);
...
iochannel = g_io_channel_unix_new(script_out);
g_io_add_watch(iochannel, (G_IO_IN|G_IO_HUP), wikilyrics_get_output, data);
...
Extra information: the script is written in Ruby, and with the switches I
feed it, it spits the lyrics in its stdout. I have tested this by hand and
it works.
My problem is this: whenever I run audacious from a terminal, everything
goes fine. When the script produces output G_IO_IN is emitted and I
correctly receive the lyrics. However, if I run audacious from the "Run"
dialog (Alt+F2), G_IO_HUP is emitted and I get a null output. Instead,
stderr reports "Error opening terminal: unknown".
Can anyone explain this and help me resolve it?
Alexander Altanis
