Radio Tray, your favorite light weight online radio streaming application, has gone under some more development churn since its last release. Namely, there is now a dbus interface to allow other applications to interact with it! So you write a “remote control” for Radio Tray and change the volume, change stations, extract metadata from the stream being played, etc. Here’s what’s currently supported:

• listRadios()
• getCurrentRadio()
• playRadio(name)
• turnOff()
• volumeUp()
• volumeDown()
• getCurrentMetaData()

Fancy learning a bit about adding a dbus interface to your own application? Want to add new features to Radio Tray? A new “testdbus.py" script has been added to the repository to help you understand how things work and get you to hit the ground running! Just clone the repository and take a peek:

hg clone http://radiotray.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/radiotray/radiotray
