Missing Mpris Properties

[Batwam]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

Currently, the app doesn't appear to provide the DesktopEntry and Identity information as part of the Mpris data it is giving. Extensions relying on this info display blank info. See below, info correctly provided by the Spotify app:

On the other hand, Spotube doesn't provide these properties:

Expected Behavior

Please add Identity 'Spotube' and DesktopEntry 'Spotube to the list of Mpris properties.

Steps to reproduce

open the app
check mpris data using a D-Bus inspection app like D-Feet.

Operating System

Linux

Spotube version

v3.1.2

Installation source

Flathub (Flatpak)

Yeah we're already providing these properties https://github.com/KRTirtho/spotube/blob/master/lib/services/audio_services/linux_audio_service.dart#L57-L171

Thanks for the quick response! This is quite strange then, I wonder why the info is not getting recognised... for clarity, the rest (play/pause, metadada, album cover,...) all work fine.

By the way, desktopEntry is meant to be the part of the filename before .desktop, not the path so it should be something like spotube. See spec here: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/mpris-spec/latest/Media_Player.html#Property:DesktopEntry

Example: The desktop entry file is "/usr/share/applications/vlc.desktop", and this property contains "vlc"

[Batwam]

Could it be because Identity and DesktopEntry are meant to be Properties and not Methods?

I checked using dbus-send. Spotify returns the value, spotube doesn't:

[Batwam]

I'm just noticing that these Properties are meant to be part of org.mpris.MediaPlayer2 Interface which doesn't appear to exist for spotube. Only org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player is listed.

Is there anything I could do on my end to check what might be going on?

amazing, looking forward to the next release!

I can confirm that this is now working fine with v3.2.0
