rhythmbox alarm clock

Greetings,

I've been working on a python alarm clock plugin for
Rhythmbox.  The
core is done...just need to whip up a gtk configuration
window.

It's something I've wanted for a while but is anyone else
interested in
it?  If so, I can polish it up for release and/or mainline,
just let me
know.

Regards,
Jon Oberheide

There's an open bug in bugzilla for an alarm clock:

http
://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323511

Not sure if it's exactly the same functionality.  If it is,
you should
add the patch to that bug, or if it is not, open a new bug
with the
patch using the component "Plugins (other)".

I would very much like such plugin!

At the moment am I using "sleep" from bash...

So please release =)

Yes, such a plugin will be very welcomed . It should
make it into
mainstream.

Also, why use sleep?, just use at/atd

echo 'execute command' | at 6:00

man at, Martin.

I was just thinking of such a thing and would be happy to
help with
the PyGTK part of things if you want to post it somewhere.

Cheers,

On that bug in Bugzilla that I posted earlier in the form of
a patch
would be the best place for it (or open a new bug if it's
not
sufficiently similar).

Thanks for all the feedback and pointer to bugzilla!

From the bugzilla bug, it seems the consensus is to use
evolution to
call rhythmbox to play a song.  However, I doubt that
everyone can/wants
to fire up the evolution beast just for a simple alarm
clock...I know I
don't.

My plan is to have a GUI similar to xmms-alarm...there will
be an alarm
time you can set for each day of the week (Sun through Sat).
 Once that
is complete, I'll likely polish it up and release for you
alarm-hungry
people.  Future features include gradual volume increasing
(so its not
such an abrupt wakeup), a visual indicator on the main
window showing
the alarm is set, and perhaps customizing exactly what
song/playlist you
want the alarm to trigger.

Regards,
Jon Oberheide

That discussion was before Rhythmbox supported plugins, and
using
Evolution was a good way of not putting it in the Rhythmbox
core.
Integrating with Evolution-Data-Server would be cool, but
wouldn't be
necessary.
