Public bug reported: After a media-hub crash (or even a manual kill $(pidof media-hub-server) ), existing sessions are not being invalidated/recreated. That causes telephony-service-indicator to stop playing notifications for new messages, as it always reuse the same instance.
In dbus we see it is still trying to use an invalid session: ----- method call sender=:1.132 -> dest=core.ubuntu.media.Service serial=77706 path=/core/ubuntu/media/Service/sessions/3; interface=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player; member=OpenUri string "file:///usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/notifications/Xylo.ogg" error sender=:1.485 -> dest=:1.132 error_name=org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod reply_serial=77706 string "Method "OpenUri" with signature "s" on interface "org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player" doesn't exist " --- And the logs are being flooded with the following message: ----- Failed to get current playback position: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMeth od: Method "Get" with signature "ss" on interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properti es" doesn't exist ------ AalMediaPlayerService creates both the media session and the media hub control instance in its constructor, but it does not seem to manage media-hub appearing/disappearing on dbus. ** Affects: qtubuntu-media (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1506953 Title: Sessions are not recreated after a media-hub crash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qtubuntu-media/+bug/1506953/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
