Clementine helper

[Eduardo Rivas]

Just as with Banshee and Rhythmbox, you should add support for the Clementine media player. Display album art, time remaining, controls, etc.

Since I love Clementine and have some experience concerning helpers, I've decided to do this.

Some code's already on the linked branch. Unfortunately this may take longer than I expected since I've found some bugs in Clementine's D-Bus API - I'll contact it's devs.

[Eduardo Rivas (jerivasmelgar)]

Wow, man, thanks for doing it! Looking forward to this.

[Paweł Bara (keirangtp)]

I just commited some changes:
- the tooltip and badge should now work and behave like Banshee's tooltip and badge do
- since Clementine has D-Bus bugs, I can't effectively determine whether it's playing a song; that's why I'm always showing Pause and Play controls at the same time

I still need to do some more testing and add cover art display.

Is Banshee helper doing something more than all this?

[Paweł Bara (keirangtp)]

I forgot to mention that the helper is now almost ready.

@Paweł Bara: please do a a merge request if this helper is ready.

[Paweł Bara (keirangtp)]

I'll try to polish it a bit more today and then I'll do the merge request.

I tested the helper, it works perfectly, it's really confortable to use. Thanks for your effort!!

That's nice. If everything goes allright, this should hit the official repo at some point. ;}
