Repeat one song plugin not working for Rhythm Box

Question

Is this plugin Repeat one song - https://launchpad.net/repeat-one-song working for anyone? (For new versions 2.9+) ?

Answer 1

Repeat One Song

The repeat-one-song plugin does work in v2.9x versions of Rhythmbox - there is a caveat - it does not repeat a song from the Play Queue, only if you are playing a song from the main music library source.

From the picture you can see it adds a toolbar option to repeat the selected track when the toolbar option is clicked.

To install, I would suggest my PPA (well I would!) where I have packaged it.

See this question and answer for further details:

Start Rhythmbox, enable the Repeat One Song plugin: Edit --> Plugins

Answer 2

The Repeat One Song plugin (v0.2) still works in 12.04. It must be installed differently, though.

After downloading the plugin and extracting it to a folder, open your terminal and type

sudo nautilus

Navigate to /usr/share/rhythmbox/plugins under File System, create a folder named repeat-one-song and move the icon.svg file in the extracted plugin folder to that location.

Similarly, navigate to /usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins under File System, create a folder named repeat-one-song and move the repeat-one-song.plugin and repeat-one-song.py files in the extracted plugin folder to that location.

Now you should be able to open Rhythmbox, go to Edit->Plugins, enable "Repeat One Song," and the new repeat icon should appear next to the normal play controls.

Answer 3

Well, the plugin is written only for previous versions of Rhythmbox: http://live.gnome.org/RhythmboxPlugins/ThirdParty

So it's not compatible with newer versions.
