Hello! Drive-by idea. Is it possible to query a DAAP share to find out who provides it? (Banshee, Rhythmbox, iTunes) And whether it is secured by password?
This could be presented to the user in the UI (ex., a small "locked" icon on secured or iTunes shares). Since iTunes shares can't be read because of encryption, they could always have a locked icon (until otherwise). This would mean that users would know which shares they cannot access. It is much better than trying to access your friends iTunes's and watching Rhythmbox sit and try to access what it cannot. Also, perhaps Rhythmbox could display a notification/error if an inaccessible share is accessed. Currently the user is left waiting, wonder what's going to happen. A small explanation could also be given (ranging from "You do not have access to this share" to "You need a correct username/password for this share" to "Rhythmbox cannot view music from an iTunes user."). _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
