[mpris] [MPRIS/File Manager BUG] Multiple tracks addition fails to play first song in the list

[Rohit Yadav]

Hello,

On (Ubuntu) Linux when a user select multiple files and opens it with VLC
(given that only one VLC instance is allowed and it's open), the files are
enqueued in the playlist and the last in the list gets played.
On the other hand, if no VLC instance is running and user does the same
thing, the files get enqueued in the playlist and the first file in the
playlist gets played. This usability bug is confirmed in the latest VLC 1.1
maintenance branch.

AFAIK there is no way to handle a list of files in the d-bus module
(DBUS_METHOD( AddTrack ) in modules/control/dbus.c), which adds track one by
one.

funman said: "IMO the bug is in MPRIS specification or the file manager."
So I wanted to know if there is a way to process a list of tracks at once.

Best Regards,
Rohit Yadav
