Bug ID: 402970
Summary: D-Bus /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 interface fails on
specific paths hanging media control apps
Product: gwenview
Version: 18.12.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: gwenview-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: alexander....@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Gwenview MPRIS interface fails when Gwenview opens files from specific
locations.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
mkdir /tmp/азо
cd /tmp/азо
wget https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8d/KDE_logo.svg # It
seems any image would work on this step
gwenview *
OBSERVED RESULT
Gwenview prints on launch in console output
```
QDBusConnection: error: could not send signal to service "" path
"/org/mpris/MediaPlayer2" interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" member
"PropertiesChanged": Marshalling failed: Invalid object path passed in
arguments
QDBusConnection: error: could not send reply message to service "": Marshalling
failed: Invalid object path passed in arguments
Invalid url QUrl("")
```
And various stuff is broken:
1. Normally on gwenview window thumbnail there are media control buttons that
control slideshow, but not in this case
2. https://github.com/acrisci/playerctl (CLI tool to control media players,
probably present in your repository) hangs when issuing commands because does
not get response from Gwenview mpris interface.
EXPECTED RESULT
Media interface should work reliably regardless of file path.
