Rhythmbox Open Folder Plugin
I’ve been using Rhythmbox as my main music player for years, and I’ve always missed an option to open the folder that contains one chosen song. So yesterday, I wrote my first plugin for RB, that fix this. Now you right-click a song, and select “Open containing folder” to get its folder opened. Easy and fast.
You can grab the sources from here.
To install it:
$ cd ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/plugins/
$ wget http://www.infinicode.org/code/rb/rb-open-folder-latest.tar.gz
$ tar xzf rb-open-folder-latest.tar.gz
And then open rhythmbox, go to Edit -> Plugins and enable Open Folder.
That’s all folks!

Déjate de Ubuntus y mierdas de esas y programa para solaris Console mode, mariquita, que la pitón es muy muy fácil…

Excelente plugin, muy útil, exactamente lo que andaba buscando. Como se puede hacer para que el menú también aparezca en los Playlists on el Play Queued?

Pues la verdad es que no le he implementado. Voy a mirar como hacerlo…

@elcamilo: Do you have xdg-utils installed?
May 29th, 2009 at 19:33
yes, I have.
I also have python-gobject, as required in README file (pygtk/gobject). I can only think this: my ‘real’ Music folder is not in my home; in /home/matteo/Music I put a link to ‘real’ Music which is in another partition.
Any idea?
thanks

#elcamilo: do you get any error messages if you run RB from console?

@elcamilo: btw, i’m using the plugin in an out-of-the-box jaunty installation.
There’s only one thing, I’ve installed the plugin in ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/plugins

ok listen this, i rum:
matteo@bilboBaggins:~$ rhythmbox %U
(rhythmbox:3160): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Could not open device /dev/radio0
and plugin works (!), both if it is installed in ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/plugins (but why u use this?) or in ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/plugins.
If I launch from main menu, it don’t!

Hi,
I’m using your plugin since a while but today (after updating nautilus) it does not work anymore.
When I try to use it, rhythmbox crashes with the following error:
TypeError: Cannot create a consistent method resolution
order (MRO) for bases Buildable, ImplementorIface, gtk.Orientable
**
ERROR:/build/buildd-pygobject_2.16.1-1-i386-Hw54Vw/pygobject-2.16.1/gobject/pygobject.c:925:pygobject_new_full: assertion failed: (tp != NULL)
Any ideas??
Thanks.

Cuando le doy abrir carpeta contenedora me manda ese error y se cierra el reproductor.
