Dbus interface, replicate script from bash
-
Hi, I'm trying to basically replicate the functionality of a bash script in my program. Sadly, though, my attempts so far have failed.
[url=https://github.com/popcornmix/omxplayer/blob/master/dbuscontrol.sh]This[/url] is the script that I'm talking about, and basically all I want to do is to call a method, for example "Stop". I checked the script, and it does what expected, so the problem must be on my side.
[url=https://github.com/popcornmix/omxplayer#dbus-control]Here[/url] is the description of the dbus interface of the program that I want to control.This is my code (which doesn't work, of course):
@
QDBusConnection bus = QDBusConnection::sessionBus();
//the string unix:(...) is the content of the /tmp/omxplayerdbus file mentioned in the script
bus.connectToBus("unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-emtYKjLikZ,guid=fe0fb2b43bdc0f2bf9920bb753f0a816", "org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.omxplayer");
QDBusMessage m = QDBusMessage::createMethodCall("org.mpris.MediaPlayer2", "/org/mpris/MediaPlayer2", "Stop");bus.send(m);@
so, how can I make this work? This of course is my first encounter with dbus, so it might be a silly question. Thanks in advance:)

Hi,
Please add which version of Qt your are using as well as OS and dbus

Oh, sorry. Qt 4.8, and this program is supposed to run on raspibian(debian).
Linux raspberrypi 3.12.22
D-Bus Message Bus Daemon 1.6.8
