Faster player search

[mozcelikors]

I am having trouble using "Play" "Next" etc. commands in different media players. When a user switches from Spotify to Youtube, the player object path changes, which means that the path must be re-searched the player must be updated. I've written updatePlayer, which is like findPlayer, but that makes the application take a long time to search path sometimes. Do you guys have any idea how this could be solved?

def update_player(self): manager = dbus.Interface(self.bus.get_object("org.bluez", "/"), "org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager") objects = manager.GetManagedObjects()

    player_path = None
    try:
        for path, interfaces in objects.iteritems():
            if PLAYER_IFACE in interfaces:
                print path
                player_path = path
                break
    except Exception as err:
        print err

    if player_path:
        self.connected = 1
        self.getPlayer (player_path)
        self.playerpath = player_path
        player_properties = self.player.GetAll(PLAYER_IFACE, dbus_interface="org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties")

def next(self): try: self.player.Next(dbus_interface=PLAYER_IFACE) except Exception as err: print err self.update_player() self.player.Next(dbus_interface=PLAYER_IFACE)
