[Libvisual-devel] New song event

[Eelco S. <ee...@sc...>]

Hi,

I just started playing around with libvisual in an attempt to get the hang of 
it. So far there's been one thing I haven't gotten to work; detectig a new 
song.
To spot a new song I figured that the events function would be the best place 
for this. Check the event queue and see if there's a VISUAL_EVENT_NEWSONG 
type in the queue. However, nothing happens (tested it with amarok and xmms), 
there is no event indicating a new song started playing. What could be the 
problem? Is this a libvisual problem or isn't it implemented in the player(s)?
I've pasted the events function below for reference.

Kind regards,
Eelco Schijf

Btw, as you can see there's also the VISUAL_EVENT_RESIZE event, which works 
fine.

int liquidmp3_events (VisPluginData *plugin, VisEventQueue *events)
{
 VisEvent ev;
 VisSongInfo *songinfo;
 
 // retrieve songinfo
 songinfo = visual_plugin_actor_get_songinfo( VISUAL_PLUGIN_ACTOR 
(visual_plugin_get_specific(plugin)) );

 while (visual_event_queue_poll (events, &ev)) {
  switch (ev.type) {
   case VISUAL_EVENT_RESIZE:
    liquidmp3_dimension (plugin, ev.resize.video,
      ev.resize.width, ev.resize.height);
    break;
    
   case VISUAL_EVENT_NEWSONG:
    printf( New song detected (%s)", songinfo->song );
    break;
   
   default: // to avoid warnings
    break;
  }
 }

 return 0;
}
