MPRIS: Return list of artists instead of an artist string This CL changes the MPRIS artist metadata to be a list of strings instead of just one string. This makes MPRIS correctly match the spec of the xesam:artist property. This fixes an issue where some users of MPRIS (e.g. the Laine GNOME extension) would crash when reading the xesam:artist value since they assume it's a list instead of just a string. Bug: 983203 Change-Id: Icfc9c089ca503792e93dcae636b8d9a438552e6d -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1835623 Title: Chromium's MPRIS implementation freezes and then crashes the browser when trying to play any video with Laine gnome-shell extension Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: (upstream bug report: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=983203) Ubuntu 18.04 I expect Chrome to play videos. When I try to play any video on Google Chrome for Linux, any version of 75 or higher, Google Chrome freezes. Chrome 75 will allow sound but no video. All mouse clicks become unresponsive. Attempting to close Chrome after many mouse clicks causes Chrome to crash. Even worse it often also crashes Ubuntu 18.04. Google Chrome 74 or lower work without any problems playing videos. It is a Google Chrome Linux version 75 or higher problem. I cannot believe that neither Google or Ubuntu or any other Linux OS seem to completely ignore this extremely serious problem. I am forced to install Google Chrome 71 to fix video playback problem. I posted on Ubuntu ask, and show over 90 views but no comments. One answer confirms that he has the exact same problem. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.6 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Desktop-Session: 'ubuntu' '/etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntu:/etc/xdg' '/usr/share/ubuntu:/usr/local/share:/usr/share:/var/lib/snapd/desktop' DetectedPlugins: DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Env: 'None' 'None' InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-05-02 (66 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20181019) Load-Avg-1min: 1.47 Load-Processes-Running-Percent: 0.1% MachineType: MSI MS-7641 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia Package: chromium-browser 75.0.3770.90-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-55-generic root=UUID=7181ee96-0bd0-4b3c-9100-fa205ef6bd1d ro quiet splash vt.handoff=1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-55.60-generic 4.15.18 Tags: bionic Uname: Linux 4.15.0-55-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm adm cdrom cdrom dip dip lpadmin lpadmin plugdev plugdev sambashare sambashare sudo sudo _MarkForUpload: True dmi.bios.date: 04/20/2015 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: V25.1 dmi.board.asset.tag: To Be Filled By O.E.M. dmi.board.name: 760GMA-P34(FX) (MS-7641) dmi.board.vendor: MSI dmi.board.version: 5.0 dmi.chassis.asset.tag: To Be Filled By O.E.M. dmi.chassis.type: 3 dmi.chassis.vendor: MSI dmi.chassis.version: 5.0 dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvrV25.1:bd04/20/2015:svnMSI:pnMS-7641:pvr5.0:rvnMSI:rn760GMA-P34(FX)(MS-7641):rvr5.0:cvnMSI:ct3:cvr5.0: dmi.product.family: To Be Filled By O.E.M. dmi.product.name: MS-7641 dmi.product.version: 5.0 dmi.sys.vendor: MSI etcconfigcpepperflashpluginnonfree: flashso="/usr/lib/pepperflashplugin-nonfree/libpepflashplayer.so" flashversion=`strings $flashso 2> /dev/null | grep LNX | cut -d ' ' -f 2 | sed -e "s/,/./g"` CHROMIUM_FLAGS="$CHROMIUM_FLAGS --ppapi-flash-path=$flashso --ppapi-flash-version=$flashversion" modified.conffile..etc.default.chromium-browser: [deleted] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1835623/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
