Problems with the MPRIS2 DBus interface

[moma]

Hello,

I have activated the MPRIS2 DBus interface (in the Plugins list), but I cannot get any data from the application.

These commands do not return any data.

dbus-send --print-reply --session --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.totem /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get string:'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player' string:'Metadata'

dbus-send --print-reply --session --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.totem /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get string:'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player' string:'PlaybackStatus'

Also audio-recorder can see Totem (Video) on the DBus, but Totem does not return any data. Also sound-menu crashed, but who's to blame.?

I am running Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid).

MPRIS2-interface works well in Ubuntu 15.10.

However, one thing could be better when Totem is used with audio-recorder.
I have selected Totem (Video) in audio-recorder to record some sound tracks. Totem can send PAUSE and PLAY commands with track name to the recorder. But Totem has no STOP track menu or option !

URL to record: Finland Yle Radio1.

1) It is impossible to STOP recording from Totem because it has no STOP-track menu or option.

I can PAUSE and PLAY a soundtrack in Totem but how to STOP it?

Totem should show a popup-menu with ^Quit^ option when user right-clicks the Pause/Play icon in the GUI. The main menu should also have a ^Quit^ item.

2) Totem should also send a STOP message when it quits and exits.
Now the recorder simply stays in Play or Pause.

$ totem --version
totem 3.16.4

Thanks for your work with Video (ehm Totem) !
