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.

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

1 start vlc (and you didn't )

2 qdbus org.mpris.vlc /TrackList org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.AddTrack "/PATH/FILE" 0

/home/bla bla lba/film.avi

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 ?

If I do the same with out a full path, but only for exemple 'films'
it adds only to playlist first movie, the next three arent shows up.

with music it works.

why it dosent start automatically play?

...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
10 years ago

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
