Songbird and multi-media keys under Linux

February 10th, 2007 | Category: Javascript,Linux,Programming,XUL, XPCOM and so on

I’ve decided that under Linux I want to use Songbird as my music player. Unfortunately at the moment the latest developer release doesn’t support the multi-media keys on my keyboard :( Not to be beaten I decided to do something about it and I’ve built my first XPCOM component along with some javascript glue to make it all work. Here is the Songbird extension, and here is the source. I won’t pretend it’s a great piece of work, but it does what I need it to do. The Play, Stop, Next and Previous buttons on my keyboard now work, but YMMV ;)

Enjoy

    Songbird has a page where you can upload your extension for everyone to see at http://preview.addons.songbirdnest.com/. Create an account and click the “Upload new add-on” link.

    Thanks for the link. I’ve uploaded the extension to the add on repository :)

    Daniel,
    I have tried to find you to ask a few basic questions regarding httpmail plugin. Can you please e-mail me. I sent them to sourcefog.com. Thanks

    Hey, tried installing this extension but no luck. My mm-keys still don’t work. I’ve got an ass-old Logitech keyboard with keys connected on the PS/2 port. Keys work fine when set with keyboard shortcuts in Rhythmbox. I’m running Ubuntu Edgy if that’s any help.

    Otherwise, good incentive!

    I’m currently using Fedora. I tried to install the Songbird extension but I couldn’t get it right. Is there anything that I must do first to install everything right?

    Кстати,c радостью поздравляю всех читателей блога с первым сентября. (Автора наверное не стоит поздравлять, так как у Вас мне кажется первые сентября уже в прошлом ;) ) Вчера забыла поздравить, как-то не до этого было. Сейчас вот только отошла немного :)
