Description Simone Gaiarin 2016-10-01 11:13:19 UTC 
It would be nice to have the multimedia controls in the notification area of Android when a multimedia player is active on the PC.

In particular I suggest the following behaviour (I take VLC as an example):

- VLC is started on the PC - No multimedia notification
- User access KDE Connect/Multimedia on Android > Notification is shown
- Notification remains in place until VLC is open
..or until the user closes it with the X (this should not cause the closing of VLC on the PC).


Possibly a second behaviour can be added (but a setting to switch between the two must be added in the app)

Behaviour 2:

- Notification is shown as soon as VLC is started on the PC
- The X in the multimedia notification closes VLC on the PC and removes the notification


Finally if more than one multimedia player is active on the PC, the previous behaviour should apply only for the multimedia player selected in the combobox of the kdeconnect app.

Reproducible: Always
