MediaFolder interface

MediaFolder interface

[Kyle Shneider]

Hello.
I'm successfully setting connection between iOS a2dp source and linux
a2dp sink and...
1) When I'm trying to use Search method of MediaFolder1 interface
passing different arguments it always returns NotSupported error
(ListItems and ChangeFolder methods works fine). In the bluez docs it
is written that property 'Searchable' of player object (it is False on
default) can be enabled using MediaFolder interface. So how can I
change this property to True?
2) What is the acceptable format of 'dict filter' argument of
ListItems method (and Search)? I've tried different variants but it's
always InvalidArguments error.
- {'Start':0, 'End':0, 'Attributes':['track', 'album']}
- dbus.Dictionary({'Start':0, 'End':0, 'Attributes':['track',
'album']}, signature:'sv')
- etc
When I pass an empty dictionary to this method everything ok.

There were a bug detecting the support for, I just posted a patch-set
with a fix for that but iOS needs to support searching which I recall
was not supported but maybe this has been added there.

You can't change that since it indicates a remote device capability.

There are no filters defined for search, it was probably introduced as
a place holder in case the AVRCP allows more than a string search
someday.
