Method

RBShellload_uri

Declaration [src]

gboolean
rb_shell_load_uri (
  RBShell* shell,
  const char* uri,
  gboolean play,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

Loads a URI representing a single song, a directory, a playlist, or an internet radio station, and optionally starts playing it.

For playlists containing only stream URLs, we either add the playlist itself (if it’s remote) or each URL from it (if it’s local). The main reason for this is so clicking on stream playlist links in web browsers works properly - the playlist file will be downloaded to /tmp/, and we can’t add that to the database, so we need to add the stream URLs instead.

Parameters

uri

Type: const char*

The URI to load.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.
The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
play

Type: gboolean

If TRUE, start playing the URI (if possible).

error

Type: GError **

The return location for a recoverable error.

The argument can be NULL.
If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to a NULL GError*.
The argument will be left initialized to NULL by the method if there are no errors.
In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

Return value

Type: gboolean

TRUE if the URI was added successfully.
