How to set/get time

[GoogleCodeExporter]

As in the console to get the time at which stopped playing? How do I set across 
the console while playing? Sorry for my English.

Currently you can't. However, if this is a important feature I could add it to 
the dbus interface... read DOCS/tech/dbus.txt in the source tar file for more 
info about this functionality.

Thanks, I read it, but there is no function I need. If possible, add this 
feature in the new release. Thanks in advance.

While not documented there is a the function GetTime which returns the current 
position in seconds and then there is the command Seek which sets the current 
position in seconds.

That's good, but can you show how to do this? A dbus?

Seek to 400 seconds into the media file

dbus-send  --type=signal / com.gnome.mplayer.Seek double:400.0

Get the current position

dbus-send --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=com.gnome.mplayer / 
com.gnome.mplayer.GetTime

Thank you, this is what I needed. Please tell me how to get the name of playing 
the file?

This is not supported in 0.9.9.2, but I have a patch in SVN that enables this.

dbus-send --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=com.gnome.mplayer / 
com.gnome.mplayer.GetURI
