Add support for xt7-player about gnome-shell-extensions-mediaplayer HOT 5 CLOSED

Hello,

This player implements its own dbus interface. To be compatible with this extension it must implements the MPRIS specification too

See http://www.mpris.org/2.1/spec/

from gnome-shell-extensions-mediaplayer.

I asked benoit minisini to add the ability to register a gambas app to a path different from org.gambas.appname, he replied that he doesn't understand why mpris devs choose "to force applications to use an unique bus name like that", but maybe a future gambas version will make possible to change the 'entry point'

from gnome-shell-extensions-mediaplayer.

Well, it's not a matter of just changing the dbus name of org.gambas.xt7.player, but adding a new interface with properties and methods that follow the MPRIS spec

from gnome-shell-extensions-mediaplayer.

I can implement those properties/methods with very little work, but unfortunately i've no control over the dbus name.
So, if i understood properly mpris spec, Is the name my real blocking problem.

from gnome-shell-extensions-mediaplayer.

Just for the record, a program can claim multiple bus names (custom interface, MPRIS, MPRIS2...)

Both org.gambas.xt7.player and org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.xt7 at once would be okay, and many other players already do that.
