            Bug ID: 423245
           Summary: The Tracklist d-bus interface has stopped working
           Product: amarok
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: D-Bus interfaces
          Assignee: amarok-bugs-dist@kde.org
          Reporter: toni.asensi@kdemail.net
                CC: alex.merry@kde.org
  Target Milestone: kf5

SUMMARY
Lately, the Tracklist d-bus interface has stopped working. After having talked
to Alex Merry, I report this feature request, as the tracklist of Amarok can
not be controlled from (for example) a script, even though Amarok has a
tracklist.

This is important, because (for example) during more than ten years Amarok
users have been able to press a button that sends the unwanted current track to
the recycle bin (because pressing the button launches a script that removes the
current track from the tracklist, etc.).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Execute Amarok, in the command line it can be typed:
    qdbus org.kde.amarok /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.

2. Press Tab, see options like
    org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.CanQuit               
org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.CanSeek        
but tracklist options like
    org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.TrackList.RemoveTrack
are not seen. [^1]

[^1]: Which are seen if it's VLC the program which is executed, in the command
line is typed `qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.vlc /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2
org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.` and Tab is pressed. 
Also,
<https://scriptsandoneliners.blogspot.com/2014/07/control-vlc-via-dbus.html>
can be seen.

OBSERVED RESULT
Tracklist options like 
    org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.TrackList.RemoveTrack
are no longer seen.

EXPECTED RESULT
Tracklist options like 
    org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.TrackList.RemoveTrack
would be seen again, as Amarok has always done.
