Description Dag 2011-04-13 08:51:33 UTC
Description of problem:
There is no command line option for a command line script to get informations from clementine.
But there are options to set blindly : the volume, the playing position in the track, track informations, playlist position, etc ...

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
clementine-0.6-1.fc14.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start clementine
2. type "clementine -h" on the command line
3. there are options to act on clementine but nothing to get informations on what is going on
  
Actual results:
There is no mean to get information, or feedback about volume level or track currently playing (position in the track, name, album, position in the playlist, etc...).

Expected results:
As one can act on clementine to make clementine do things from the command line, there should be a mean to get feedback on what has been done out on the command line.

Best regards,
Dag

Hey Dag,
Thank you for the report. But we are not the developers of this application. We are just distributing it with Fedora. Such feature requests/questions are best asked directly to the developers:

Comment 3 Dag 2011-04-13 18:17:00 UTC
Thanks,

I posted a feature request on their website.

Their response is that there exists a DBus MPRIS interface for such things and no plan to change this "blindness" for command line.

So I changed the way I'm controlling Clementine : I'm using DBus now.
I'm closing this bug.
