dbus: control/interface hangs when pausing

Description

Hi,

I have been working on a Mpris ruby gem, which uses ruby-dbus: http://mpris.rubyforge.org/

I have a couple of example scripts: flophtaf:trunk njh$ ruby examples/identify.rb Identity: vlc 0.9.0-git MPRIS API Version: 1.0

flophtaf:trunk njh$ ruby examples/playerkeys.rb p:play space:pause s:stop [:prev ]:next x:exit

Which allows you to control VLC with key presses on the console. Play, Stop, Prev, Next all work great, however Pause seems to crash the control subsystem - the VLC GUI become unresponsive and dbus no long accepts commands. However playback continues.

I am using the latest version of VLC 0.9.0 from git.

  • status changed from new to assigned.
  • owner changed from mirsal to funman.
  • milestone set to 0.9.0-test1.

I experience no hang.

Any info on how to reproduce in a more determinist way / the frequency of the bug ?

I myself use qdbus and dbus-send to send dbus messages.

while :;do qdbus org.mpris.vlc /Player org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.Pause;sleep 2;qdbus org.mpris.vlc /Player org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.Pause;sleep 1;done

Still irreproducible :/

I have just tested this again and it now seems to be fixed :)
