Bug ID: 423245
Summary: The Tracklist d-bus interface has stopped working
Product: amarok
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
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
SUMMARY
Lately, the Tracklist d-bus interface has stopped working. After having talked
to Alex Merry, I report this feature request, as the tracklist of Amarok can
not be controlled from (for example) a script, even though Amarok has a
tracklist.
This is important, because (for example) during more than ten years Amarok
users have been able to press a button that sends the unwanted current track to
the recycle bin (because pressing the button launches a script that removes the
current track from the tracklist, etc.).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Execute Amarok, in the command line it can be typed:
qdbus org.kde.amarok /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.
2. Press Tab, see options like
org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.CanQuit
org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.CanSeek
but tracklist options like
org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.TrackList.RemoveTrack
are not seen. [^1]
[^1]: Which are seen if it's VLC the program which is executed, in the command
line is typed `qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.vlc /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2
org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.` and Tab is pressed.
Also,

can be seen.
OBSERVED RESULT
Tracklist options like
org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.TrackList.RemoveTrack
are no longer seen.
EXPECTED RESULT
Tracklist options like
org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.TrackList.RemoveTrack
would be seen again, as Amarok has always done.
