ddb_copy_info

ddb_copy_info is a plugin for DeadDBeeF music player that adds a menu entry to copy information about selected tracks to the clipboard using a custom format. This is the same as Copy name(s) function from foobar2000.

The format string can be changed in the plugin's preferences (Edit → Preferences → Plugins → Copy info → Configure). The default one is %tracknumber%. %artist% - %title% (%length%).

Download

You can download binaries from the DeaDBeeF's website. Packages contain both GTK 2 and GTK 3 versions of the plugin.

Building from sources

You can compile the plugin either with Make or CMake. Both systems create gtk2 and gtk3 build targets.

Before compiling, ensure you have DeaDbeeF's API headers (deadbeef/deadbeef.h and deadbeef/gtkui_api.h). Both build systems provide a DEADBEEF_INC option to add extra search paths.

Obviously, you'll also need a dev package of GTK+.

Make

Makefile provides the following options:

• RELEASE — if 1, compile in release mode (add -O2 -DNDEBUG to CFLAGS) instead of debug. Default is 0.
• DEADBEEF_INC — list of additional include paths (-I) to search for DeaDBeeF headers. Empty by default.

Simplest case. Build both GTK 2 and GTK 3 versions of the plugin in debug mode:

cd ddb_copy_info
make

More advanced case. Build only GTK 2 version in release mode, providing an additional include path (/opt/deadbeef/include):

cd ddb_copy_info
make gtk2 RELEASE=1 DEADBEEF_INC=-I/opt/deadbeef/include

CMake

CMake will not create a build target if the required version of GTK will not be found.

Use DEADBEEF_INC option to provide a list of additional include paths to search for DeaDBeeF headers. The paths should be separated by semicolon and should not contain -I.

Simplest case. Build both GTK 2 and GTK 3 versions of the plugin:

cd ddb_copy_info
mkdir build && cd build

cmake ..
make

More advanced case. Build only GTK 2 version in release mode, providing an additional include path (/opt/deadbeef/include):

cd ddb_copy_info
mkdir build && cd build

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DDEADBEEF_INC=/opt/deadbeef/include ..
make gtk2
