[Bug 1440196] Re: Problems with the MPRIS2 DBus interface

 

MPRIS2-interface works well in Ubuntu 15.10.

However, one thing could be better when Totem is used with audio-recorder. 
I have selected Totem (Video) in audio-recorder to record some sound tracks.  Totem can send PAUSE and PLAY commands with track name to the recorder.  But Totem has no STOP track menu or option !

URL to record:  Finland Yle Radio1.
mms://mediau.yle.fi/liveyleradio1

1) It is impossible to STOP recording from Totem because it has no STOP-track menu or option.
 
I can PAUSE and PLAY a soundtrack in Totem but how to STOP it?

Totem should show a popup-menu with ^Quit^ option when user right-clicks
the Pause/Play icon in the GUI.  The main menu should also have a ^Quit^
item.

2) Totem should also send a STOP message when it quits and exits.  
Now the recorder simply stays in Play or Pause.

$ totem --version
totem 3.16.4

Thanks for your work with Video (ehm Totem) !

Title:
  Problems with the MPRIS2 DBus interface

Status in totem package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello,

  I have activated the MPRIS2 DBus interface (in the Plugins list), but
  I cannot get any data from the application.

  These commands do not return any data.

  dbus-send --print-reply --session --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.totem
  /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get
  string:'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player' string:'Metadata'

  dbus-send --print-reply --session --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.totem
  /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get
  string:'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player' string:'PlaybackStatus'

  Also audio-recorder can see Totem (Video) on the DBus, but Totem does
  not return any data. Also sound-menu crashed, but who's to blame.?

  I am running Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid).
