dbus

Im using Ubuntu 12.04. I want to access Rhythymbox using Python . This is how I've proceeded so far: Ive gone through this site https://live.gnome.org/RhythmboxPlugins/WritingGuide , but it gives details on how to write plugins , which Im not interested in right now. Ive gone through a few tutorials which tells me to do this. import dbus session_bus = dbus.SessionBus() proxy_obj = session_bus.get_object( 'org.gnome.Rhythmbox', '/org/gnome/Rhythmbox/Player') But I am getting the following error DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.Rhythmbox was not

I am trying to a byte array over D-Bus using the GDBus bindings. Can you please let me know how I can achive that. I tried googling but didnt help. Byte array contains a image file so cannot be converted to charbytearray Any help is appriciated JB0x2D1 This question has some good ideas in the answers including for passing large amounts of data by writing the data to a file and passing the filename , or using a named pipe . Writing to a file and passing the file name might be the easiest to implement. cyrax I did some tests using an XML where I used the type ay . This works well with the QT

In all python dbus documentations there are info on how to export objects, interfaces, signals, but there is nothing how to export interface property. Any ideas how to do that ? It's definitely possible to implement D-Bus properties in Python! D-Bus properties are just methods on a particular interface, namely org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties . The interface is defined in the D-Bus specification ; you can implement it on your class just like you implement any other D-Bus interface: # Untested, just off the top of my head import dbus MY_INTERFACE = 'com.example.Foo' class Foo(dbus.service.object

I need to develop some python code to be executed when a VPN connection is established, the VPN is controlled from NetworkManager, I am trying to figure how to use an NM DBUS event for this. Using "dbus-monitor --system" I was able to identify the connect signal: signal sender=:1.1 -> dest=(null destination) serial=464 path=/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/3; interface=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.VPN.Connection; member=PropertiesChanged array [ dict entry( string "VpnState" variant uint32 5 ) dict entry( string "State" variant uint32 2 ) ] Now I need to identify the

I have 2 Python programs. I just want to send a message (a long string) from the one to the other, and I want use dbus. Now, is there an easy way to do this? For example, if the message is very small, I have partially solved the problem putting the message in the path. But then I had to use the external program dbus-send: Server (python): import dbus,gtk from dbus.mainloop.glib import DBusGMainLoop DBusGMainLoop(set_as_default=True) bus = dbus.SessionBus() def msg_handler(*args,**keywords): try: msg=str(keywords['path'][8:]) #...do smthg with msg print msg except: pass bus.add_signal_receiver

I'm trying to export a DBus service named com.example.HelloWorld , with an object /com/example/HelloWorld , and method com.example.HelloWorld.SayHello that prints "hello, world" if the method is called using dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.example.HelloWorld /com/example/HelloWorld com.example.HelloWorld.SayHello So my question is how do you make a simple DBus service with a single method that prints "hello, world" (on its own stdout). JoGr When using dbus-python the following setup for exporting a D-Bus service works: import gobject import dbus import dbus.service from dbus
