            Bug ID: 423124
           Summary: 'qdbus org.kde.amarok /Player' has stopped working
           Product: amarok
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: D-Bus interfaces
          Assignee: amarok-bugs-dist@kde.org

  Target Milestone: kf5

First of all, thanks for Amarok!

SUMMARY
After a recent update of the helpful Amarok PPA from Pedro Gomes, `qdbus
org.kde.amarok /Player` has stopped working.

This bug is important, because during more than ten years that `qdbus
org.kde.amarok /Player org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.GetMetadata` has allowed
(for example) that a script sends the actual track in Amarok to the recycle
bin, and automatically plays the next track.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Execute: qdbus org.kde.amarok /Player org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.GetMetadata

OBSERVED RESULT
"Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownObject
No such object path '/Player'"

EXPECTED RESULT
Get information useful to know the title of the current track, its file path,
album, etc.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Kubuntu 20.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0
Qt Version: 5.12.8
Kernel Version: 5.4.0-37-generic
OS Type: 64-bit

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If we look for "org.kde.amarok /Player org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.GetMetadata"
using Google, a lot of pages appear, as it's very useful. For example, in
https://www.tuxarena.com/2014/03/how-to-control-amarok-from-command-line/
there's an entire article: "How-To: Control Amarok from Command-Line".

Is the problem related to
https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/amarok/-/commit/f34a0464075896b2547f8210b5ee63f1eea80303
?

Perhaps Amarok has a new qdbus "interface" that keeps allowing playing tracks,
stopping them, getting the information about the path to the file which is
being played, etc.?
