systray support about pulseaudio-dlna

[masmu]

Hey, thats great. I really like the idea.

I will take a deeper look at this during the weekend to see how we can make the installation easier.

Great work!

[masmu]

I am sorry, i did not have the time yet. I was busy fixing bugs.

But i promise you will not be forgotten.

[queeup]

No problem at all. Just I want you to know what I did. I already using it for my self :)

[masmu]

Note that there is now a PPA to install from.
The process name changed to pulseaudio-dlna.

• 0.3.0 - (2015-02-01)
  • Added debian packaging
  • Added proper signal handlers (new dependency: python-setproctitle)
  • Fixed a bug where binding to an already used port made the application crash
  • HTTP charset encoding is now specified correctly

[queeup]

Yea I saw it. I will make proper changes.

[queeup]

I did some changes and renaming. Also updated README. You can test it if you want.

@queeup very nice, I am using your systray application under awesomewm. It works very well.

[muammar]

@masmu do you plan to add this systray support to the application?.

[klaernie]

I would suggest not integrating it too tighly. In my experience I would rather prefer to have it sitting in the background in daemon mode, so all required for activation is choosing the right sink in pulseaudio.

[masmu]

No. Basically because of the same reason. It also would break the application for people using this in a non X environment, e.g.: RPi users.

[muammar]

@masmu @klaernie thanks for your replies. I understand now.

[jkufner]

I think it makes sense to keep these two parts close, but as separate packages. So, link each other in documentation?

Hi,

I had a few problem to easily make the systray script launch in my Arch install, so if it can help other people, here's what I did:
Get the script from Queeup and its icon
sudo wget -P /usr/local/bin/ -c https://raw.githubusercontent.com/queeup/pulseaudio-dlna-systray/master/systray_icon.png
sudo wget -P /usr/local/bin/ -c https://raw.githubusercontent.com/queeup/pulseaudio-dlna-systray/master/pulseaudio-dlna-systray
The script seems to only work with python2, so change the sheebang
sudo sed -i 's,^#!/usr/bin/env python.*,#!/usr/bin/env python2,' /usr/local/bin/pulseaudio-dlna-systray
Make the script executable
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/pulseaudio-dlna-systray

Then to autolaunch when I login my Gnomeshell session, if necessary, create the autostart directory
mkdir -p ~/.config/autostart 2>/dev/null
And create a desktop shortcut to the script
cat <<EOF > ~/.config/autostart/pulseaudio-dlna-systray.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/local/bin/pulseaudio-dlna-systray
Hidden=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name=pulseaudio-dlna-systray
Comment=PulseAudio DLNA Systray
EOF

That's all. The systray icon appears in the bottom left corner on gnomeshell.
