Exaile Sound Indicator Menu Integration

Question

I just made an Ubuntu 12.04 installation on a new computer, and can't figure out how I got Exaile into the sound indicator menu on my old box. Does anyone know how to do this?

Sound indicator menu with Exaile turned off on my old box:

Try this:

Install dconf-tools .
Start dconf-editor.
Switch to com → canonical → indicator → sound.
Add , 'Exaile' to "interested-media-players":

Done.

Alternatively, you could run:

gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.sound interested-media-players "['rhythmbox', 'Exaile']"

That's the first time I've used the install link. Very cool. – Kazark Jun 02 '12 at 20:03
This hasn't worked so far. Is that because I have removed rhythmbox? (Surely not.) – Kazark Jun 02 '12 at 20:28
Take a look at apps → indicators → sound, too - possibly you have to add it there, also? – Jakob Jun 02 '12 at 20:30
Thanks for the help--I figured out I have to install a plugin in Exaile itself. – Kazark Jun 02 '12 at 20:43

Exaile itself has to cooperate with the sound indicator menu. I found the link I used before. Based on that post:

Download the Exaile plugin
Extract it to $HOME/.local/share/exaile/plugins/
Open Exaile and enable "Sound Menu Indicator" via the Preference menu
