Public bug reported: At boot the indicator-sound is showing a player that we cannot launch and with all playback controls disabled. It shows the "Media Player", not the music app.
After some investigation I saw that the following player is appearing on the dbus: (process:7236): indicator-sound-WARNING **: media-player-list- mpris.vala:115: Player appeared: org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.MediaHub (process:7236): indicator-sound-WARNING **: media-player-list- mpris.vala:118: Player desktop entry: mediaplayer-app I'm not sure the desktop entry is valid and, in fact, the user cannot do anything with this player. I also noticed that, when starting the music-app, it does not make any new player to appear on the dbus. (we only have the media-hub). I'm not sure how to proceed with this, because some people has asked why we are showing that player at the beginning. I understand the media-hub is a bridge for sound on the phone, but I'm not sure what we do now is correct. I was thinking on ignoring the media-hub player at startup, but if then we don't get any other player when we start a music app the indicator won't have any player at all. Maybe the media-hub should publish the information of the actual player when it starts playing music. ** Affects: media-hub (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: New ** Changed in: media-hub (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: media-hub (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1544543 Title: org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.MediaHub player is exposed at startup, making the indicator show a player that it's not fully functional To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/media-hub/+bug/1544543/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
