Title:
Totem DBus pause method doesn't work
Status in totem package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The Play() method works, as does the PlayPause() method, but the
Pause() method does nothing. I'm writing an application that uses the
Pause() method for media players, and Rhythmbox and VLC work fine, but
Totem requires the workaround that Pause() be replaced by PlayPause().
If you're using qdbusviewer or something like that, you can locate the bug
here:
Session Bus
Service: org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.totem
Object: /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2
Interface: org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player
Method: Pause
Relevant files:
/usr/lib/totem/plugins/dbus
I tried to fix the bug by changing the contents of the Pause(self) method to
@dbus.service.method (dbus_interface = 'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player',
in_signature = '', # pylint: disable-msg=C0103
out_signature = '')
def Pause (self):
if not self.totem.is_playing ():
return
self.totem.action_play_pause ()
because the Play and PlayPause methods work fine, but this wasn't successful.
Related problems:
* Totem's Unity right-click menu is inconsistent with Rhythmbox's.
Totem's menu has play/pause as one entry
Rhythmbox lists play and pause separately, but play does nothing if
Rhythmbox is playing and pause does nothing if Rhythmbox is already paused.
* Totem doesn't have DBus enabled by default.
* Totem's DBus integration is nonstandard (Bug #642172)
Thanks.
