Can't get it working. :( Plugin deactivated in Rhythmbox, restarted, re-activated. But still no change in the status. Do I have to set something special in Empathy to receive the status from Rhythmbox?

@octavio: Can you confirm that you have activated the according plugin in Rhythmbox to transmit the status to Empathy?

octavio bernal quiroz (poisonman-1) wrote :

Yes, I confirm the bug, but I have more info.....If I open Rhythmbox and I activate the plugin the music info appears in Empathy and works. But If I close Rhythmbox or Empathy ( one of them ) and then I try to test again the music info will not appear in Empathy. In order to fix that I need to disable plugin in Rhythmbox and close it, then open it again and enable the plugin.

To Resume, if you enable the plugin in Rhythmbox will work but if you close it or restart the machine you will need to do all the enable/disable plugin process again.
