Metadata not properly showing on Gnome Media Player Extension #26

Closed almartin1911 closed 7 years ago

almartin1911 commented 7 years ago

I was about to post this issue on extension's page but I've tested the extension against other players (Rhytmbox, Clementine, VLC) and it's working nicely. So, I assumed that mpris2 needs an update.

I've installed the mpris plugin straight from source (not the tarball), and the gnome media player extension straight from the official Gnome extensions site. However, when I open DeadBeef this is what's being shown (no metadata) [PIC HERE]

However, if I lock my session, and re-login, the metadata appears! But it's static, it doesn't get updated at all (Current song is not Warriors). [PIC HERE]

I don't know if it's a problem with your extension, gnome media player's or my OS. Please, any help would be appreciated.

I'm using Ubuntu Gnome 16.04.02, with Gnome 3.18.5.

This is a bug with that specific Gnome shell extension. It takes a while to get new releases posted on GNOME Extensions website it seems.

Try a more recent release direct from their github (https://github.com/JasonLG1979/gnome-shell-extensions-mediaplayer/releases).

The built-in MPRIS client in newer versions of Gnome shell also work fine with deadbeef's mpris 2 plugin. And I have also tested it against the one in Ubuntu's Unity shell.

You were absolutely right. They've just have pushed an update to their website, and everything works fine now.

Thanks!
