Hi!
I'm developing a plugin about social listening, very similar to Last.fm.
I want to integrate it in Amarok creating a new browser, just like Magnatune browser:

How can I do this? I have been diving in DCOP but I couldn't find the right calls.

The Magnatune extension is not a plugin; it's simply hardcoded. Currently Amarok does not support browser plugins.

OK, I was misleaded by John's comment in http://blogs.magnatune.com/buckman/2006 ... urcha.html

Yes, that's right, it isn't embedded in the amarok that ships, but is an additional thing one can install and add."

What a pity, it would be really nice for scripts if they could interact more with the interface, beyond the contextual menu entry.

Thanks!

With some trickery, you can make the script interact with the context browser. See here for an example:

But before you dive too deep into this: I'm pretty sure that we will provide a simple infrastructure for new browser plugins together with a hook into the context browser for 1.4.3.

Wow, that would be really cool!

I had a look at conTEXT but it was very tricky. Besides, my script is in Ruby...

Ah, Ruby, the language of the Gods. Very nice! Anything else would have disappointed me.

That screen shot of Amarok looks very differnet from what i have in version 1.4.2. The tabs and lay out are completely different. Is this just the Magnatune interface in Amarok or is this a new look for Amarok in an upcoming version? 

That was how Amarok looked for some weeks in June.
