<p>
The Media Player Remote Interfacing Specification is a standard
<a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus">D-Bus</a>
interface which aims to provide a common programmatic API
for controlling media players.
</p>
<p>
It provides a mechanism for compliant media players discovery,
basic playback and media player state control as well as a tracklist
interface which is used to add context to the current item.
</p>
</tp:docstring>
</tp:section>
<tp:section name="Bus Name Policy">
<tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<p>
Each media player <strong>must</strong> request a unique bus name
which begins with <b>org.mpris.MediaPlayer2</b>. For example:
</p>
<ul>
<li>org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.audacious</li>
<li>org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.vlc</li>
<li>org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.bmp</li>
<li>org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.xmms2</li>
</ul>
<p>
This allows clients to list available media players
(either already running or which can be started via D-Bus activation)
</p>
<p>
In the case where the media player allows multiple instances running
simultaneously, each additional instance should request a unique bus
name, adding a dot and a unique identifier (such as a UNIX process
id) to its usual bus name. For example, this could be
</p>
<ul>
<li>org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.vlc.7389</li>
</ul>
</tp:docstring>
</tp:section>
<tp:section name="Entry point">
<tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<p>
The media player <strong>must</strong> expose the
<strong>/org/mpris/MediaPlayer2</strong> object path, which
<strong>must</strong> implement the following interfaces:
</p>
<ul>
<li>org.mpris.MediaPlayer2</li>
<li>org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player</li>
</ul>
<p>
The <strong>/org/mpris/MediaPlayer2</strong> object may implement
the <strong>org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.TrackList</strong> interface.
</p>
</tp:docstring>

<tp:section name="The PropertiesChanged signal">
<tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<p>
The <abbr title="Media Player Remote Interfacing Specification">MPRIS</abbr>
uses the <literal>org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.PropertiesChanged</literal>
signal to notify clients of changes in the media player state.
If a client implementation uses D-Bus bindings which do not support this
signal, then it should connect to it manually.
If a media player implementation uses D-Bus bindings which do not support
this signal, then it should send it manually
