5 years ago Try listing the names on the bus and see if rhythmbox shows up in the list.

]You have the right name listed on the bus: string "org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.rhythmbox".
One thing that might go wrong is if the player doesn't set CanPlay or CanControl correctly. New in 2.0.1 is the player will be considered not present if it cannot support the command.
Try this command to see if those properties are set correctly:
dbus-send --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.rhythmbox /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.GetAll string:'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player'method return time=1542879478.482391 sender=:1.37 -> destination=:1.39 serial=129 reply_serial=2

]Everything looks fine and I can't reproduce it on my machine, but I don't doubt there is an issue somewhere. I'll need to add debug logging to the cli to investigate further

5 years ago I have the same problem on dwm with mpv and playerctl 2.0.2; it may be something window manager related in new version, playerctl 0.6.x works without problems. When running playerctl status I also get segmentation fault after the No players found message.
My dbus command output (properties output looks almost exactly the same as above)
$ dbus-send --session --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus --type=method_call --print-reply /org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames
method return time=1560522469.956742 sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> destination=:1.75695 serial=3 reply_serial=2

string "org.freedesktop.DBus"
string "org.a11y.Bus"
string ":1.3"

string "org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.mpv"
string ":1.75666"
string ":1.4"
string ":1.1"
string "org.gnome.GConf"
string ":1.2"
]If you need any other info to debug this, just let me know.

4 years ago Note: I had the same "No players found" problem, but did not see the appropriate application listed from the dbus call (only org.gnome.Rhythmbox3). After enabling the "MPRIS D-Bus Interface" plugin in Rhythmbox, org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.rhythmbox also appeared. Maybe that will help someone get a little further.

4 years ago playerctl 2.0.2, ubuntu 20.04.
my rhythmbox has "CanPlay" as true, but playerctl cannot "play" it.
If rhytmbox is playing, playerctl can stop/next/previous just fine. Just can't "play" if not playing.
This does start the play:
dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.rhythmbox /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.PlayPause

4 years ago @richardpickett the latest version is 2.1.1.
I cannot reproduce this with rhthmbox 3.4.4, the play-pause command works fine.
Try with the latest playerctl version. If it doesn't work, open a new issue and provide a debug log for further discussion.

4 years ago This issue is kind of old so I'm going to close it. Open a new issue if you have this problem and I'll help you there.
Hello. i want to control rhythmbox from i3 config file. add these two lines to that file, but i can not control it's behaviour.(like stop, start, play next track and so on..):
