DBus for MCabber
April 14, 2008
I desperately wanted this, so I coded it over a night. Comment on this post if you want a tarball.
Now I can set the mcabber status to the current playing track from mocp using a script.

Badly-made Patch against MCabber 0.9.5: http://members.bas.org.in/kstar/mcabber-patch.tar.gz
0.9.5 – modified version: http://members.bas.org.in/kstar/mcabber-edit.tar.bz2
The src/expt directory in the modified tarball has a ‘remote control’ that I wrote. I googled for one of those mocp scripts and found something that used the output of mocp -i to monitor the current playing track.
Of course, the code here is extremely unclean – please bear with me!
