Metadata don't work about mpris-service HOT 5 CLOSED

You shouldn't rely on the example because the art URL used is not working anymore and there's an error on the artist metadata.
Try again the example, and replace:

• 'mpris:artUrl': https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7c/Adele_2016.jpg/800px-Adele_2016.jpg
• 'xesam:artist': ['Adele']

Notice that the 'xesam:artist' is an array an not a string. Try both of this and the example should work.

Yeah. I'm going to close this as the code has completely changed. Feel free to re-open if you can still reproduce.

i can't send any metadata

What do you mean?

If possible, provide your source code and describe what happens and what is expected to happen.

For example when i use examples/player.js i see this in status bar

Events work great but i don't see any metadata info as title for example. But when i use other player i see metadata correctly so insn't problem of status bar

I think that is a problem of the way that dbus send metadata, but its only an suspicion but i didn't found any evidence of this.

The info is shown by this gnome extension https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/55/media-player-indicator/

Dbus Version: D-Bus Message Bus Daemon 1.10.6
Node Version: v4.2.6

Updating node to 6.x i get these errors of dbus executing player.js

I'm pretty sure this should work now with the dbus-next update.
