[Telepathy] Share your music to your IM contacts with Rhythmbox and Telepathy

[Alban Crequy]

Hi,

I wrote a Rhythmbox plugin to share music with your contacts over
Telepathy tubes with the DAAP protocol:
 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=526499

You can try it already. You need Rhythmbox 0.12.0 or newer,
telepathy-mission-control-5, Empathy 2.27.91 or newer,
python-telepathy, telepathy-gabble.

Installation instructions:
git clone git://git.collabora.co.uk/git/user/alban/rhythmbox-plugin-telepathy.git
cd rhythmbox-plugin-telepathy/
mkdir -p ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/plugins/
cp -r rb-tp-* ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/plugins/

In the Rhythmbox plugin configuration (menu Edit, Plugins), you need to
activate the DAAP plugin in Rhythmbox on both side, enable the DAAP
sharing on the offerer side,  and enable the telepathy plugins exporter
and importer resp. on the offerer and receiver side. Or just follow the
instructions on the screencasts:

http://people.collabora.co.uk/~alban/d/2009/09/rhythmbox-receive.ogm

I hope it works for you! I have been able to listen Paul's music over the
real Internet. Next step is probably a way to stop sharing the music to a
contact without restarting Rhythmbox.

Regards,
Alban
