Hey guys , . [...]
The plugin would rely on the consistent filenames . Simple cycle :
For (every song in the playlist) {
//get filename from the path recorded in the playlist
//find the song in the library by filename
//get the path ,stored in the library
//record it back in the playlist
}
Ok , from the lack of response and the looks of the Rhythmbox
libraries I think there is little chance this function will be
implemented in the core function that imports playlists. So since I
still haven't understood the RBs database , signals .... well a long
list of things , I intend to write a plugin and hope that it gets
integrated (upon a error (missing file) when importing a playlist -
prompt to fix the playlist using that algorithm) .
So I'm writing mainly because I have some questions . I pretty much
got how plugins work . The algorithm's pretty much set :
1.prompt for playlist - I honestly have no idea how to do it . I've done
OpenGL , but no real GUI in GTK . Still that's the simplest problem .
2.here's a big pickle - how do I get the playlist parser to give me the
playlist items' URI-s
3.Last part I figured out : probe every DB entery for its location ,
parse it through |g_filename_from_uri| , compare the filename to the
item given from the playlist, if there's a match -> add it to the playlist
Where I'll have a big problem is figuring out dependencies and
communication with the shell . All and all I'd be happy to get some help
around the RB source.

Petko
