[Bug 1538703] Re: Playlist next/prev controls only available when player is in foreground

 

And looking from a higher point of view...

This is a comment by greyback on IRC:

<greyback> unity8 does export a dbus service com.canonical.Unity.WindowStack which media service could use to monitor what app is currently focused
<greyback> only other idea is that when app is unfocused, it signals that to media-hub, and media-hub does the wrong thing with that info
<greyback> but those are the only 2 ways such state could be passed from the app/window manager to media-hub I can think of

The sound indicator is not monitoring the stated dbus service.

Title:
  Playlist next/prev controls only available when player is in
  foreground

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in indicator-sound package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in media-hub package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in unity-scopes-shell package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Switch to the dash (i.e. app scope) while music app is playing
  The indicator switches to mediaplayer with controls disabled

  Note also that the media player is shown with controls disabled on a
  fresh boot when no media has ever been played, the indicator should
  only show controls after playback.

  Something in the scopes is incorrectly telling media hub there is a
  new ctive player.

  Install the music app from the store
  Start a playlist in music app
  Switch apps
  Next and Prev are disabled in the indicator

  This was fixed after a reboot.
