At the end of a playlist totem re-opens the first file causing it to be displayed as the most recent played

[Fausto Piovesan]

Binary package hint: totem

When totem reaches the end of a playlist it re-opens the first file of the playlist to display its first frame. This causes the first file of the playlist to be wrongly acknowledged as the most recent played file.

Example:
If I open totem and add three files A, B and C to the playlist in that order, and play this hole playlist I would expect the files to be displayed in the most recent menu in the following order (both on gnome "Places > Recent Documents" and on totem's "File" menu:

    Recent Documents:
        C
        B
        A

But, because A is re-open at the end of the playback (to display its first frame), the recent documents ends up like this:

    Recent Documents:
        A
        C
        B

Upstream bug was closed "RESOLVED FIXED" on 2012-07-15 and
refers to the old interface.

Tested version 3.32.0 in Ubuntu 19.10 (dev). No conventional
playlist now but although the first file is displayed after
the last file is played it is not added to the the "Recent"
file list in nautilus. totem no longer has a recent file list
or file menu so closing this as fixed.
