Music started playing by itself when phone is locked

Last night I had the phone in my pocket, PIN locked, when all of sudden it started playing music!

As this was in the middle of a public meeting, I don't have the remaining details as I powered the device off immediately. I'm pretty sure the music app was in the foreground though ( ie. if unlocked that is ), and I had play a track earlier in the evening and then paused it.

I discussed this our internal stand-up today, and we decided that it was best to file the bug against the music-app first.

I will try and reproduce it again and see if I can gather more details.

If there are any logs I can grab that would be helpful, please let me know.

Thanks for the report, Tony! If you could grab the following logs it _might_ be useful. It would also be useful to know the name of the song that started to play, so parsing the music app log is easier:
1. "application-click-com.ubuntu.music_music_2.0.815.log"
2. "media-hub.log"

I don't suspect there will be anything in the log, however. I might try to reproduce a bit later.

One future change that _might_ prevent this from happening is once media-hub provides the ability to give it multiple tracks, the music app will no longer have a lifecycle exception. So if the music app is truly at fault here, this feature will fix the issue.

@Victor

Thanks. I'll check the logs, although I may have re-flashed since Friday. That said, I'll try and put some cycles into reproducing it again this week.

I'll self-assign, and move to Incomplete for now.

If you ever are able to reproduce this again, please make mental notes of what you did the last time you were actively controlling the device as that might give more ideas of how we can reproduce it and if it's music-app or media-hub that's at fault here.

[Tony Espy (awe)]

I haven't been able to reproduce this for a long time now. Just gave it a try again this afternoon too.

I'm changing the Status to Invalid.

I wonder if this was actually caused by/duplicate of bug 1421620 (which has been fixed). Say a person phoned you but hung up instantly, this could have caused the audio to restart.

[Jim Hodapp (jhodapp)]

It's definitely possible. @Tony, just reopen and let me know if it happens to you again.
