Version: 2.4.0 (using KDE 4.6.0) OS: Linux The MPRIS interface on Amarok 2.4.0 has been messed up quite a bit. When playback is paused, Amarok sends out a StatusChange signal containing 0 1 0 1, which means it is Playing. When resuming playback it sends a StatusChange signal containing 1 1 0 1, saying playback is Paused. The MPRIS2 interface does pretty much the same, sending a PropertiesChanged signal containing a PlaybackStatus of Playing when Paused and Paused when playback is resumed. On the first change it does not send a PropertiesChanged at all. The MPRIS CapsChange signal is also providing wrong information: 119 on pause (i.e. CAN_PAUSE is true and CAN_PLAY is false), and 123 on resume (CAN_PAUSE is false and CAN_PLAY is true). It almost looks like these signals are describing the old situation instead of the new one, as they are supposed to be doing. All the MPRIS signals used to work fine with Amarok 2.3.0. MPRIS2 wasn't supported in that version. Furthermore, the MPRIS2 CanPause property is always false. According to the MPRIS2 specifications it should at least be true when playback is paused and CanControl is true (which it is). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: - In a console window, run: dbus-monitor sender=org.kde.amarok - Pause and resume playback in Amarok - Look at the signals reported by dbus-monitor Actual Results: The signals report data that seems to match the situation before the change. Expected Results: The signals should report the new situation.
Alex and/or Aurélien, could you have a look at this, please?
I can't reproduce any of this (using Amarok git as of Monday 7th March). The status change signals are completely correct - 1-0-0-0 is emitted when pausing, and 0-0-0-0 when playing. Even if I switch to random mode, so that I get 1-1-0-1 and 0-1-0-1, it all still works fine. The caps change is also correct. Can anyone else reproduce this on OpenSUSE, or on other systems?
I tell a lie: I can reproduce the issues with the MPRIS2 interface, but not the MPRIS1 interface.
Ah, I see, there was a commit on 17th Feb that fixed this for MPRIS1.

Fix playback status for MPRIS2 interface Make use of the playbackStatusChanged EngineController signal to find when we should update the playback status property, otherwise we set it too early and get the wrong value.

The MPRIS1 fix is in 2.4.1beta1, but the MPRIS2 fix won't be there until 2.4.1beta2.
Thanks for the quick action. I'll keep an eye out for a new version. For now I'm going to stick with MPRIS1 anyway because the MPRIS2 implementation is missing some other important features, most notably the tracklist related information.
