DeadBeef pipe menu for openbox

As the title says: A pipe menu for controlling DeadBeef.

Usage

Include the following menu element somewhere in your openbox_menu definition in menu.xml

<menu id="someId" label="someLabel" execute="/path/to/db-pipe.py"/>

Can optionally be supplied a directory containing playlists with the -p switch.

Functionality

DeadBeef doesn’t really support that many functions from a commandline (unless I missed something). Currently supports

• Playing a playlist (if started with -p /some/playlist/dir).
• Toggle play/pause.
• Go to next song.
• Go to previous song.
• Select random song
• Stop song

Obviously also supports quitting out of deadbeef.

The menu has two different layouts, depending on whether or not deadbeef is currently running.
