Python dbus

[matmatmat]

Does anyone know how to use dbus in python? I'm trying to do this:


dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.kde.amarok /Player org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.Pause

only in python.
Thanks in advanced.

It'll look something like this
import dbus
bus = dbus.SessionBus()
proxy_obj = bus.get_object("org.kde.amarok", "/org/freedesktop/MediaPlayer")
player = dbus.Interface(proxy_obj, "org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer")
player.Pause()This is untested, and there's a decent chance I mixed up object name vs well-known name or something like that, so it may give you an error.

See the python-dbus tutorial: http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-python/doc/tutorial.html

Thanks for the reply, I ran it & it gave this error:


dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownObject: No such object path '/org/freedesktop/MediaPlayer'

?

Like I said, it's untested. Try using /Player instead.

This code will work:



import dbus
bus = dbus.SessionBus()
player = bus.get_object("org.kde.amarok", "/Player")
player.Pause()
