[Pkg-audacious-maintainers] Bug#514426: audacious: Does not include track number in DBUS-exported metadata

[Chris Share]

Package: audacious
Version: 1.5.1-4
Severity: normal

When calling the "GetMetadata" method on the "/Player" object of the "org.mpris.audacious" name on the DBUS session bus, a dictionary of information about the current track is returned. However, while this includes the name of the album the track is from, it does not include the number of the track within that album.

This can be fixed by the following patch to src/audacious/dbus.c, function mpris_metadata_from_tuple:

237a238,242
>     value = tuple_value_to_gvalue(tuple, "track-number");
>     if (value != NULL) {
>         g_hash_table_insert(md, "tracknumber", value);
>     }
>

This returns the field name as per the specification at http://wiki.xmms2.xmms.se/wiki/MPRIS_Metadata
