Control rhythmbox inside Emacs

Control rhythmbox inside Emacs Control rhythmbox inside Emacs

It is until recently that I came authentication ss a configuration option that Emacs cansend shell command to other applications such as rhythmbox, so I created asimple file to make this work inside Emacs.

The rhythmbox comes with a client tool to make it possible to control theplaying from a terminal, so that life will be a lot easier when implementingcontrolling inside Emacs, the functions involved is as follows:

(defun rhythmbox-linux-command (command-name)  "Execute command for rhythmbox inside emacs"  (interactive)  (setq command-text (format "rhythmbox-client %s" command-name))  (shell-command command-text))(defun rhythmbox-toggle ()  "Play/Pause rhythmbox"  (interactive)  (rhythmbox-linux-command "--play-pause"))(defun rhythmbox-next ()  "Next song in rhythmbox"  (interactive)  (rhythmbox-linux-command "--next"))(defun rhythmbox-previous ()  "Previous song in the rhythmbox"  (interactive)  (rhythmbox-linux-command "--previous"))(defun rhythmbox-volume-up ()  "Increase the playback valume"  (interactive)  (rhythmbox-linux-command "--volume-up"))(defun rhythmbox-volume-down ()  "Decrease the playback volume"  (interactive)  (rhythmbox-linux-command "--volume-down"))(global-set-key (kbd "<C-kp-4>") ‘rhythmbox-previous)(global-set-key (kbd "<C-kp-6>") ‘rhythmbox-next)(global-set-key (kbd "<C-kp-5>") ‘rhythmbox-toggle)(global-set-key (kbd "<C-kp-8>") ‘rhythmbox-volume-up)(global-set-key (kbd "<C-kp-2>") ‘rhythmbox-volume-down)

I only implemented some common controlling functions for the rhythmbox, more canbe added with the reference manualRhythmbox-Client.
