Description Valerio De Angelis 2015-09-10 17:28:50 UTC

Nexus 5 with the beta version, pc with F22 plasma 5.4 (kdeconnect 0.8)

No matter if I open vlc or amarok, the multimedia control feature doesn't work. It says "not player found" or something.

Note: send a ping works.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a player in the desktop, such as vlc or amarok
2. on the phone, no player is found
3. it is not possible to manage the player

Actual Results:  
No player found, the player is not manageable through the phone

Expected Results:  
the desktop player should be manageable through the phone

After the upgrade (5 minutes ago) the VLC control works, but not yet for amarok. It is not present in the player list.

Comment 2 Albert Vaca Cintora 2015-09-11 09:25:42 UTC

Actually it is broken: it only detects players that were already running when kdeconnect was started, but not after. Thanks for the report! Wroking on a fix.

Watch all serivies with the watcher

media player services are not registered as org.mpris.MediaPlayer2 just
use a service name that starts with that. We need to watch all services
and then filter.

@AlbertVaca is right, but if you already have vlc open playing something and close it then anything you open again with vlc works.
