Command line remote for Rhythmbox

What is this?

RhythmRemote is a Command Line remote to control Rhythm Box (Tested with 2.97).

• rhythmRemote.py - Contains the main and the code for all functions
• fuzzySearch.py - Search module for the play command.

Commands

• start - Starts playing (Play)
• pause - Pause
• next- Plays next song in the playlist
• prev, p - Plays previous song in playlist
• what, w - Displays information about the song playing now
• play [song name] - Plays the song, searches your media library folder. (look in fuzzySearch.py). see play --help
• lyrics, l - Downloads lyrics from chartlyrics.com and displays with less
• rating [rate out of 5] - Displays the current song rating/rate the current song
• shuffle [on/off] - Displays if shuffle is on/switch shuffle on or off

Note: When you give a song name to play no quotes are necessary. Unless you are using other options with it. Also, change the MEDIA_PATH in fuzzySearch.py for it to work properly. This will only work if your library is organized the way it assumes (see fuzzySearch.py).

Improvements I'd like to do

• Make the play command work with the RhythmDB instead of the Media Folder. This would make it much more flexible.
• Store downloaded lyrics so it only has to be downloaded once.
