Adding support for Amarok 1.4/2.x scripts and plugins would enhace clementine's functionality...

While offering the same API over DCOP as Amarok is very hard and not such a good idea, how about a dbus API instead?

We will never support DCOP, DBUS is likely eventually and possibly either a QtScript or Python scripting API (neither in the near future).

DBus api is done.

I reckon we should add QtScript, I had a look in to it and it seems that there are automated scripts to generate most of the code

is there any kind of plugin api documentation to go along with this, or will there be when QtScript or Python APIs are introduced?

For sure. And if the meantime, if you'd like to do something D-Bus related, Clementine implements MPRIS standards (descriptions to both versions are linked here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Player_Remote_Interfacing_Specification ). Oh, and please, be aware, that MPRIS 2 is work in progress.

I'm for binary plugins on C++ (such as in qutIM).

This was now totally scrapped away from the code? Totally dropped out? o.O What happened? Maybe then figured a new way to implement this?

So....no option whatsoever for extensions/scripts/plugins for Clementine?

I love a lot of what Clementine has to offer, but I'd like to make it work with my Windows desktop a bit more. I'm looking for a player that plays music well and integrates with my existing workflow/setup well. Clementine meets one out of two of those criteria.

From mrfishjr on June 10, 2012 13:14:05

I agree with TapeSm...

Would be great to develop my own enhancements easily. And it could help the main development as well, since many enhancements already planned could become plug-ins to be developed apart from the main project.

This should really be considered. Its one of the major downfalls of clementine, the inability to extend it with user scripts and plugins.

It would allow Integration with Many other applications without the need for developers to code support in, or Bloat Clementine in any way.

@HorstFiedler check if #6468 isn't duplicate for this. Thanks in advance.

[HorstFiedler]

No, as adding amaroklike scripting support to clementine is not fitting well. As a former amarok user I created approx 10 scripts for own purpose, most of them for print/html formatting playlist (current clementine features are sufficient), for restructuring (renaming and/or recoding) when exporting tracks to nonmanaged devices, and to call external programs like audacity or ffmpeg. None of those scripts was worth to be published, and on the other hand I could not find usefull scripts from community. Now, as clementine user I would not refurbish old scripts but would like to have 2 additional context menu entries

1. Copy (filename into system clipboard), enabled when a track is selected,

2. Paste (to add a file or replace/rescan metainfo), enabled when clibboard contains audio type file

Clementine is already much better than outdated amarok.

[JulianVolodia]

system pastepin

@HorstFiedler to make sure, system clipboard? bc pastepin is sth I don't know
