I read the help file:
--play-file=filename
does not work with PCmanFM on LXDE. Can you help? I would like to open the
files from my filemanager. thanks.
edit: this command to set qt the default player does not work with pcmanfm:
quodlibet --play-file
edit: I meant the command: quodlibet --play-file
I have in my ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list:
audio/flac=quodlibet_queue.desktop;
and in my ~/.local/share/applications/quodlibet_queue.desktop:
Exec=/usr/programs/quodlibet/quodlibet --enqueue=%f
and it's working OK. I just tried with --play-file=%f and it worked also.
Note that Quod Libet must be running when you make the call.
Are you sure your file manager is passing the whole path to the file and
not just the filename?

Was the missing part. The command works, thank you. although, I am limited
playing a single file (I can't right-select a bunch of files and play them).
I'm also sick of this gotcha - it's fine for me most of the time but only
since I have QL running a lot, but it's poor that it can't be started up to
play a file, like nearly every media player out there.
I'll have a look into this when I get some time (@devs is there a good
reason for this I'm missing?)
I remember that I tried it once but gave up.
We could create the socket, fork, send the args and wait for the child to
react to that (and redirect stdout for the child maybe, so --print-playing
etc works ??)
or something completely different...
