banshee: How would I set the rating for a specific track on Banshee through DBus?

Question

I'd like to set the 'rating' of a specific track (i.e. not only the one currently playing) on Banshee through the DBus interface?

Answer 1

Banshee does not expose rating functions via DBus.

You can quickly view all functions that it exposes, using applications like d-feet[1]. Make sure that an instance of the application you are interested in (like Banshee in this case) is running.

There is a bug report already requesting to add rating functionality[2] to DBus interface. You might want to subscribe to it.
