Description fantomen 2008-01-26 13:56:08 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When I play a video file in Totem and open up a terminal to type 'totem --printplaying' the terminal just locks and does nothing and i have to press CTRL+C to kill it.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Play any video file in Totem
2. Open up a terminal and type 'totem --printplaying'


Actual results:
The terminal locks and does nothing, which probably isn't what's intended.

Expected results:
Nothing really, which is exactly the problem.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Regression from 2 years ago caused by that patch:

Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2008-01-28 15:12:13 UTC 
Looks like the channel used in bacon_message_connection_send() is not the same that was used to receive the message in server_cb().

If Marco has any ideas. I tried fixing it, but could get anywhere.

Patch to test the functionality (similar to what Totem does).

run ./testmsg in one terminal,
run ./testmsg SAY in another one.

It should print "Any reply" on the client side. Does when reverting Marco's patch.
Maybe it's time to switch to D-Bus...

        * src/totem-options.c (totem_options_process_for_server):
        * src/totem-options.h: Remove --print-playing, we
        have a D-Bus plugin to export that data now (Closes: #512232)
