pause on suspend/hibernate about music HOT 9 OPEN

is there a dbus api that all music players share for this or something? Or am I only gonna support BeatBox?

If it's possible, we should do whatever happens when you press the pause media key on the keyboard. In that way it's respected by music and video players.

The best choice should be MPRIS. BeatBox is going to support as far as I was told, and further more Audacious, Banshee, Rhythmbox, XMMS and VLC support it (to different degrees):

I have tried tackling this problem.

It looks like we need to add a script to /etc/pm/sleep.d

...and use dbus to pause the media players. When the computer is about to go to sleep it fires off a signal on dbus to the listening programs. I have enclosed the script which may make this work.

Okay, I think this little feature is ready for testing. If anyone wants, they can clone my branch and test it out.

You need to listen for the PrepareForSleep() signal in Noise and pause the music when you get that signal.

I believe this should be a system-wide pause command (MPRIS) and should not be limited to only VLC. I don't think the player should care what sleep state the system is in.

Sorry, read should not be limited only to Noise.
