Hi David,

Sorry David about Monday, I was still on Christmas leave.

Good work !

Seemed like a nasty one alright.

Let me know how I can help to test. Working on  a Natty machine now.


Just an update on my progress, up until Christmas I was working with the 
MPRIS and Banshee guys to get playlists accepted and subsequently 
developed on both server and client (indicator) side. It looks as if 
Rhythmbox and Banshee will both support the MPRIS playlist extension 
before Alpha4. I have also completely reworked the player registration 
mechanism with the menu so it uses nothing but MPRIS and GSettings. No 
need for the previous libindicate dependency and the cache file in 
~/.cache/indicators/sound/.
Will push a release (0.5.4) out today with all these changes.

Conor
