QMediaPlayer never changes status to "Stopped" automatically

[Tiago Salem Herrmann]

In telephony-service-indicator we noticed that QMediaPlayer never goes into Stopped mode once the stream reaches its end.
As a workaround we are doing the following():

if (mediaPlayer.duration() == mediaPlayer.position()) {
    mediaPlayer.stop();
}

if (mediaPlayer.state() == QMediaPlayer::StoppedState) {
....
}

Not sure if related, but we noticed that calling stop() in a QMediaPlayer that is already stopped and that uses a playlist causes it to start playing again. As a workaround we are clearing the playlist before calling stop().

These two bugs started to happen at the same time last week.
For now we added those workarounds to telephony-service here: https://code.launchpad.net/~tiagosh/telephony-service/fix-indicator-bugs/+merge/219607

I'm curious if you try to use pause() instead of stop, do you get the desired behavior that you're looking for?

[Tiago Salem Herrmann (tiagosh)]

Yes, calling pause() works.

I am attaching a simple test project that reproduces the issue on the phone.

Also, setting the playlist playback mode to Loop does not work anymore.
