TODO for DBus integration

See DBus-spec

Decide service bahaviour

Could vlc be a on-demand startable service, would it be useful ?

We just have to create a /usr/share/dbus-1/org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.service:


[D-BUS Service]

Name=org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer

Exec=/usr/bin/vlc -I dummy --control dbus ---

Missing features

playlist => we can export to a temporary file using xspf or m3u, and let the remote application do whatever it wants to do with that file. can either take the file path as an argument, or return the path of the newly created file.

it'd be cool to create network streams too, using mrl ?
