Attention Amarok 2 users

August 25, 2008

Those wishing to query their Amarok 2 music player Beta 1 released from within Konversation using /media or /audio will be interested to learn that the ‘media’ script shipped with Konversation 1.1 does in fact contain experimental Amarok 2 support, albeit disabled due to being merged during feature freeze.

If you’re familiar with Python coding, you may simply want to edit your existing copy yourself. Alternatively, grab the latest version (with Amarok 2 support enabled by default) from SVN, move it to ~/.kde/share/apps/konversation/scripts/ and mark it as executable to override the system-installed version.

To those in the know, please note that the implementation is presently Amarok 2-specific; a generic MPRIS client implementation for the ‘media’ script is planned to be included with the initial KDE 4 release of Konversation (and yes, we’re making progress on that).
