BlueZ D-Bus Media API description ********************************* Media hierarchy =============== Service org.bluez Interface org.bluez.Media Object path [variable prefix]/{hci0,hci1,...} Methods void RegisterEndpoint(object endpoint, dict properties) Register a local end point to sender, the sender can register as many end points as it likes. Note: If the sender disconnects the end points are automatically unregistered. possible properties: string UUID: UUID of the profile which the endpoint is for. byte Codec: Assigned number of codec that the endpoint implements. The values should match the profile specification which is indicated by the UUID. array{byte} Capabilities: Capabilities blob, it is used as it is so the size and byte order must match. Possible Errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments org.bluez.Error.NotSupported - emitted when interface for the end-point is disabled. void UnregisterEndpoint(object endpoint) Unregister sender end point. void RegisterPlayer(object player, dict properties, dict metadata) Register a media player object to sender, the sender can register as many objects as it likes. Note: If the sender disconnects its objects are automatically unregistered. Properties: string Equalizer: Possible values: "off" or "on" string Repeat: Possible values: "off", "singletrack", "alltracks" or "group" string Shuffle: Possible values: "off", "alltracks" or "group" string Scan: Possible values: "off", "alltracks" or "group" string Status: Possible values: "playing", "stopped", "paused", "forward-seek", "reverse-seek" or "error" uint32 Position Playback position in milliseconds Metadata: string Title: Track title name string Artist: Track artist name string Album: Track album name string Genre: Track genre name uint32 NumberOfTracks: Number of tracks in total uint32 Number: Track number uint32 Duration: Track duration in milliseconds Possible Errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments org.bluez.Error.NotSupported void UnregisterPlayer(object player) Unregister sender media player. MediaPlayer hierarchy ===================== Service unique name (Target role) org.bluez (Controller role) Interface org.bluez.MediaPlayer Object path freely definable (Target role) [variable prefix]/{hci0,hci1,...}/dev_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX/playerX (Controller role) Methods dict GetTrack() Returns known metadata of the current track. See TrackChanged for possible values. void Release() This method gets called when the service daemon unregisters the player which can then perform cleanup tasks. There is no need to unregister the player, because when this method gets called it has already been unregistered. Signals TrackChanged(dict metadata) This signal indicates that current track has changed. All available metadata for the new track shall be set at once in the metadata argument. Metadata cannot be updated in parts, otherwise it will be interpreted as multiple track changes. Possible values: string Title: Track title name string Artist: Track artist name string Album: Track album name string Genre: Track genre name uint32 NumberOfTracks: Number of tracks in total uint32 Number: Track number uint32 Duration: Track duration in milliseconds Properties string Equalizer [readwrite] Possible values: "off" or "on" string Repeat [readwrite] Possible values: "off", "singletrack", "alltracks" or "group" string Shuffle [readwrite] Possible values: "off", "alltracks" or "group" string Scan [readwrite] Possible values: "off", "alltracks" or "group" string Status [readonly] Possible status: "playing", "stopped", "paused", "forward-seek", "reverse-seek" or "error" uint32 Position [readonly] Playback position in milliseconds. Changing the position may generate additional events that will be sent to the remote device. When position is 0 it means the track is starting and when it's greater than or equal to track's duration the track has ended. Note that even if duration is not available in metadata it's possible to signal its end by setting position to the maximum uint32 value. MediaEndpoint hierarchy ======================= Service unique name Interface org.bluez.MediaEndpoint Object path freely definable Methods void SetConfiguration(object transport, dict properties) Set configuration for the transport. array{byte} SelectConfiguration(array{byte} capabilities) Select preferable configuration from the supported capabilities. Returns a configuration which can be used to setup a transport. Note: There is no need to cache the selected configuration since on success the configuration is send back as parameter of SetConfiguration. void ClearConfiguration(object transport) Clear transport configuration. void Release() This method gets called when the service daemon unregisters the endpoint. An endpoint can use it to do cleanup tasks. There is no need to unregister the endpoint, because when this method gets called it has already been unregistered. MediaTransport hierarchy ======================== Service org.bluez Interface org.bluez.MediaTransport Object path [variable prefix]/{hci0,hci1,...}/dev_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX/fdX Methods fd, uint16, uint16 Acquire(string accesstype) Acquire transport file descriptor and the MTU for read and write respectively. possible accesstype: "r" : Read only access "w" : Write only access "rw": Read and write access The accesstype string can also be combined with a "?" suffix, which will make the request optional. This typically means the transport will only be acquired if it is already available (remote-initiated), but otherwise no request will be sent to the remote side. In this last case the function will fail. Note that, due to compatibility issues with older versions of BlueZ, clients are encouraged to use exactly the same accesstype for Release(), matching the string provided to Acquire(). void Release(string accesstype) Releases file descriptor. Signals void PropertyChanged(string name, variant value) This signal indicates a changed value of the given property. Properties object Device [readonly] Device object which the transport is connected to. string UUID [readonly] UUID of the profile which the transport is for. byte Codec [readonly] Assigned number of codec that the transport support. The values should match the profile specification which is indicated by the UUID. array{byte} Configuration [readonly] Configuration blob, it is used as it is so the size and byte order must match. string State [readonly] Indicates the state of the transport. Possible values are: "idle": not streaming "pending": streaming but not acquired "active": streaming and acquired uint16 Delay [readwrite] Optional. Transport delay in 1/10 of millisecond, this property is only writeable when the transport was acquired by the sender. boolean NREC [readwrite] Optional. Indicates if echo cancelling and noise reduction functions are active in the transport, this property is only writeable when the transport was acquired by the sender. boolean InbandRingtone [readwrite] Optional. Indicates if the transport support sending ringtones, this property is only writeable when the transport was acquired by the sender. string Routing [readonly] Optional. Indicates where is the transport being routed Possible Values: "HCI" or "PCM" uint16 Volume [readwrite] Optional. Indicates volume level of the transport, this property is only writeable when the transport was acquired by the sender. Possible Values: 0-127
