I recently moved from win7 to a linux distro so im not sure how exactly things work. What i found weird is while playing music with banshee and after hitting the "X" (close) button, the music that was playing in banshee didnt stop (i also tested this with beatbox getting the same result).
Does this have anything to do with MPRISv2 and is there a way to fix this?
For the record im using Ubuntu 12.04 + Gnome 3.4 + gnome shell + gnome-extensions-mediaplayer-indicator
Yes, it will play - you have to hit the play button where the sound is. On the right hand side, look for where you see the sound icon.
Open it up - you will see that you can make the sound louder and softer, under that you will see a play button and a left and right button with an arrow in - that is to go to the next song and back to the previous song.
Hit the play and pause button will stop the sound and that is it. Nothing more to do, only when you open up a music play - you will only see you library and can then quickly go to a song you like...
That is the way to stop music completely so that you won't play in back.
Hope it helps.
