Description Federico Mena Quintero 2005-09-20 17:58:15 UTC

Please see bug #116472.

Right now GNOME doesn't have a default handler for "cdda://" URIs.  So if you
insert an audio CD in your machine and double-click on the corresponding icon in
the desktop, you get an unfriendly dialog saying that those URIs are not supported.

The idea is to pick up the default handler from the
"/desktop/gnome/volume_manager/autoplay_cda_command" gconf key.  Within Suse
that key points to banshee, but we don't pass any arguments to it.  We need to
be able to pass something like "banshee cdda://dev/hdc", and Banshee should do
something like play that CD or otherwise show its contents.

Actually, I'll be stripping the cdda prefix so that banshee gets invoked like this:

  banshee /dev/hdc

Comment 2 Federico Mena Quintero 2005-09-22 00:11:24 UTC

Retitling for clarity.  I don't care much if you start playing the CD or just
start the GUI to rip/import it --- maybe the people in the UI lab know what the
users' expectations are when they double-click on a CD icon in the desktop.

Would it make more sense to pass a hal udi or something?

Comment 4 Federico Mena Quintero 2005-09-22 02:14:29 UTC

About comment #3 - not in this context, I think.  Gnome-vfs has code to deal
with volumes managed by HAL, and it generates "cdda://..." activation URIs for
those volumes.  Those activation URIs are the ones that Nautilus gets.  When you
try to open the corresponding icon, it looks for a URI handler.

Gnome-volume-manager can indeed pass a HAL UDI to its own handler apps with the
%h option.  However, the upstream default is to have "totem %d" as the default
handler.  I think it makes sense to have banshee expect the same kind of argument.

Comment 5 JP Rosevear 2006-01-05 15:37:06 UTC

--audio-cd <dev> should do this now, can we clean up this bug and 116472 now?

Comment 6 Federico Mena Quintero 2006-01-23 21:39:29 UTC

This works in Banshee now; thanks for implementing it.

Nautilus pops up a window with an unnamed file of type "WAV Audio".  So I won't close bug #116472 just yet.
