Metadata don't work

[MarcosPer]

I'm using this module and it works, it show player controls in https://github.com/azdyb/gnome-shell-extension-mpriscontrol and events are working but i can't send any metadata. I tried to update to node-dbus to 1.0.0 version following this https://github.com/Shouqun/node-dbus/blob/master/MIGRATING.md but it still failing.

How can i do for solve this?

This isn't problem of gnome shell because it works with other players. I tried in ubuntu 16.04 and ubuntu gnome 16.04 and linux mint without any successful result.

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

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.

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

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