The current playback status.

May be "Playing", "Paused" or "Stopped".

The current loop / repeat status

May be:

• "None" if the playback will stop when there are no more tracks to play
• "Track" if the current track will start again from the begining once it has finished playing
• "Playlist" if the playback loops through a list of tracks

If CanControl is false, attempting to set this property should have no effect and raise an error.

The current playback rate.

The value must fall in the range described by MinimumRate and MaximumRate, and must not be 0.0. If playback is paused, the PlaybackStatus property should be used to indicate this. A value of 0.0 should not be set by the client. If it is, the media player should act as though Pause was called.

If the media player has no ability to play at speeds other than the normal playback rate, this must still be implemented, and must return 1.0. The MinimumRate and MaximumRate properties must also be set to 1.0.

Not all values may be accepted by the media player. It is left to media player implementations to decide how to deal with values they cannot use; they may either ignore them or pick a "best fit" value. Clients are recommended to only use sensible fractions or multiples of 1 (eg: 0.5, 0.25, 1.5, 2.0, etc).

A value of false indicates that playback is progressing linearly through a playlist, while true means playback is progressing through a playlist in some other order.

If CanControl is false, attempting to set this property should have no effect and raise an error.

The metadata of the current element.

If there is a current track, this must have a "mpris:trackid" entry (of D-Bus type "o") at the very least, which contains a D-Bus path that uniquely identifies this track.

See the type documentation for more details.

The volume level.

When setting, if a negative value is passed, the volume should be set to 0.0.

If CanControl is false, attempting to set this property should have no effect and raise an error.

The current track position in microseconds, between 0 and the 'mpris:length' metadata entry (see Metadata).

Note: If the media player allows it, the current playback position can be changed either the SetPosition method or the Seek method on this interface. If this is not the case, the CanSeek property is false, and setting this property has no effect and can raise an error.

If the playback progresses in a way that is inconstistant with the Rate property, the Seeked signal is emited.

The minimum value which the Rate property can take. Clients should not attempt to set the Rate property below this value.

Note that even if this value is 0.0 or negative, clients should not attempt to set the Rate property to 0.0.

This value should always be 1.0 or less.

The maximum value which the Rate property can take. Clients should not attempt to set the Rate property above this value.

This value should always be 1.0 or greater.

Whether the client can call the Next method on this interface and expect the current track to change.

If it is unknown whether a call to Next will be successful (for example, when streaming tracks), this property should be set to true.

If CanControl is false, this property should also be false.

Whether the client can call the Previous method on this interface and expect the current track to change.

If it is unknown whether a call to Previous will be successful (for example, when streaming tracks), this property should be set to true.

If CanControl is false, this property should also be false.

Whether playback can be started using Play or PlayPause.

Note that this is related to whether there is a "current track": the value should not depend on whether the track is currently paused or playing. In fact, if a track is currently playing (and CanControl is true), this should be true.

If CanControl is false, this property should also be false.

Whether playback can be paused using Pause or PlayPause.

Note that this is an intrinsic property of the current track: its value should not depend on whether the track is currently paused or playing. In fact, if playback is currently paused (and CanControl is true), this should be true.

If CanControl is false, this property should also be false.

Whether the client can control the playback position using Seek and SetPosition. This may be different for different tracks.

If CanControl is false, this property should also be false.

Whether the media player may be controlled over this interface.

This property is not expected to change, as it describes an intrinsic capability of the implementation.

If this is false, clients should assume that all properties on this interface are read-only (and will raise errors if writing to them is attempted), no methods are implemented and all other properties starting with "Can" are also false.
