Player Bugs

Track position is not updated correctly

Some players do not send the MPRIS "Seeked" signal so the extension can't update the position slider when the song is seeked from the extension or the player.

GNOME Music

Crashes if the GoTo method on the Tracklist interface is called.

  • Until this is fixed users will not be able to switch songs via the track list with GNOME Music, since GNOME music is blacklisted from the GoTo method.
  • bug report

Does not provide complete metadata for the Tracklist interface.(No cover art for upcoming songs)

Clementine

Clementine's TrackList interface is broken.

Cover art flickers at track change.

Clementine's Playlist interface is broken.

gmusicbrowser

Sends invalid/mangled album cover uri's. Resulting in no album art in the extension more often than not.

RhythmBox

Does not implement the PlaylistChanged signal. Changing a playlist's name in RhythmBox is not reflected in the extension.

Quod Libet

Does not update it's metadata when song ratings change. This results in the new rating not showing up in the extension if set outside of the extension(the player or from the command line) in version 3.8.1 or older. The bug has since been fixed in 3.9.

Doesn't send a linear volume value as it should to MPRIS but instead a cubic value. This would result in their volume slider and ours not being in sync.

  • We workaround this by properly scaling the volume for them making it a linear value.
  • bug report

Shuffle and LoopStatus is broken.

  • Quod Libet is blacklisted from the shuffle and repeat widget.
  • bug report

Spotify

The Linux client's MPRIS Implementation is basically borked. Volume doesn't work. The Position slider always resets back to 0 at any state change and so on... Don't file bug reports about Spotify. They will be closed.

Can't Raise player via MPRIS in the flatpak app.

Banshee

Banshee is dead. It hasn't been updated in years. Don't file bug reports about Banshee. They will be closed.
