dbus Open webcam

[Torsten Rosenberger]

Hello


i try to open the webcam over dbus but I got this error

 dbus-send com.gnome.mplayer.Open string:'tv://'
Must use org.mydomain.Interface.Signal notation, no dot in "string:tv://"

on the sonsole i can start gnome-mplayer tv:// to open the webcam with it.


Best Regards
Torsten

So this is my test scenario as I don’t have a tv device

open gnome-mplayer

open a terminal and type in this command

$ dbus-send / com.gnome.mplayer.Open string:'file:///home/kdekorte/Videos/test.mov'

Video starts playing in gnome-mplayer

As to why this could not be working, it is possible to compile gnome-mplayer without dbus support. So make sure that support is enabled

You should get something like this.

$ ldd `which gnome-mplayer` | grep dbus

libdbus-glib-1.so.2 => /lib64/libdbus-glib-1.so.2 (0x0000003f3cc00000)

libdbus-1.so.3 => /lib64/libdbus-1.so.3 (0x00007f78aaba3000)

Hope that helps.
