Multiple MPRIS apps working - which to display?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When only Amarok is playing, everything works just fine. But when VLC is
started, MusicTracker "decides" to dislpay its info instead, ignoring Amarok. 

I must use Auto-detect option in player selection because none of the
others would see Amarok 2.1...

Is it possible:
1. to include Amarok 2+ as an separate option (I've been looking for it in
project updates, but it either isn't there or perhaps I've missed it)?

OR

2. to somehow tell musictracket to ingnore VLC?

MusicTracker 0.4.13
Pidgin 2.5.5
Ubuntu 9.04
Amarok 2.1

Protocols: MSN and GTalk

Cheers!

Thanks for the bug report

Can you just clarify if the issue is that both Amarok2 and VLC are playing, and 
there
is no way to select between them? or that VLC is not playing, but musictracker
decides to prefer it over Amarok2?

It's the first issue. When VLC is started but stopped, there is no problem, 
Amarok2
is happy.

There might be a dialog for the user if MusicTracker is set to AutoDetect and 
there
are more than one players playing detected.

But the real issue here, I guess, is that MusicTracker can't detect Amarok2 
when set
to "Amarok" but only when set to "AutoDetect"...

Pardon me if my English prevents me to be precise enough, and thanks for a quick
response. I'm glad to help if I can :)

Since 0.4.14 the text in the player selection dropdown has been changed to 
"Amarok
1.x.x" to make it clearer that only controls the Amarok 1 DCOP interface

Ah, I see. Well, I hope that including the more detailed settings won't be too 
much
of a task.

All the best!

Unfortunately this does involve a bit of work as the list of MPRIS players is 
not
known in advance, so it doesn't fit into the current scheme of selecting one 
from a
list built into the plugin.
