Description

The MPRIS2 plugin should use mpris:trackid's that uniquely represent the current track.

Currently, it sets the mpris:trackid property for all tracks to the same value, /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2/CurrentTrack. This means MPRIS2 clients have no reliable way of knowing if a different track is being played, or if it just had metadata updated, whenever they receive a PropertiesChanged(Metadata) signal; they now have to guess based on URL and other metadata.

(Audacious does not have to actually export the trackid as a DBus object – it's enough to generate valid object names.)

I thought we had a report of this already but I can't find it now.

Audacious is a lightweight player and does not maintain unique IDs for individual tracks, so this MPRIS2 feature will not be implemented.
