Bug ID: 423124 Summary: 'qdbus org.kde.amarok /Player' has stopped working Product: amarok Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: D-Bus interfaces Assignee: amarok-bugs-d...@kde.org Reporter: toni.ase...@kdemail.net CC: alex.me...@kde.org Target Milestone: kf5 First of all, thanks for Amarok! SUMMARY After a recent update of the helpful Amarok PPA from Pedro Gomes, `qdbus org.kde.amarok /Player` has stopped working. This bug is important, because during more than ten years that `qdbus org.kde.amarok /Player org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.GetMetadata` has allowed (for example) that a script sends the actual track in Amarok to the recycle bin, and automatically plays the next track. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Execute: qdbus org.kde.amarok /Player org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.GetMetadata OBSERVED RESULT "Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownObject No such object path '/Player'" EXPECTED RESULT Get information useful to know the title of the current track, its file path, album, etc. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Kubuntu 20.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.12.8 Kernel Version: 5.4.0-37-generic OS Type: 64-bit ADDITIONAL INFORMATION If we look for "org.kde.amarok /Player org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.GetMetadata" using Google, a lot of pages appear, as it's very useful. For example, in https://www.tuxarena.com/2014/03/how-to-control-amarok-from-command-line/ there's an entire article: "How-To: Control Amarok from Command-Line". Is the problem related to https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/amarok/-/commit/f34a0464075896b2547f8210b5ee63f1eea80303 ? Perhaps Amarok has a new qdbus "interface" that keeps allowing playing tracks, stopping them, getting the information about the path to the file which is being played, etc.? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
