Comment 2 for bug 1801505

Re-hi,

I made a quick debug of the src/dbus-mpris2.[ch] module and I can see that Spotify-1 sends the same message several times. Spotify can do the right thing all the time.

Audio-recorder should handle the situation.
Problem is that some other media-players (like Totem, Amarok, Clementin, Rhythmbox, etc.) may function slightly differently. I need to find a solution that works for all.

Some debug data from DBus:
