Music scopes for Oneiric or Precise

Wed Mar 21 05:32:50 UTC 2012

Great! I've updated the package to use the screenshot URLs from Software
Center instead of Imgur.

I've got the merged source package pretty much ready to go, it's up at:

lp:~app-review-board/ubuntu-app-review-board/unity-scopes-music-extras-oneiric

And in the ARB staging PPA at:

https://launchpad.net/~app-review-board/+archive/staging

I've got one hitch: when I install the new music scopes, they don't show
up in the Music Lens search results, even after I restart my machine.
(To make sure it wasn't just collapsing duplicates down to one result, I
added some new music to Clementine that's not in Banshee.)

I installed the old clementine-scope from your PPA, and it does show
search results in the Music Lens for Clementine. Could you take a look
at the merged repository or ARB PPA above and let me know if anything
stands out as unusual?

(Somewhat unrelated, but possibly useful: The version of
clementine-scope from your PPA opens the Clementine app when I click on
one of the Clementine songs in the Music Lens results, but it doesn't
add the song to the playlist, highlight it in the Clementine library
list, start playing the song, or really do anything I can see other than
open the Clementine app. That's not quite what I expected, but maybe
it's doing something I haven't noticed yet.)
