Description Adrian Piotrowicz 2017-06-06 07:58:43 UTC

Whenever I push the Play/Pause/Skip buttons, the system seems to respond by performing the action that I just did twice.

For example:
- Music is playing
- I'm pressing Play/pause button on my keyboard
- KDE pauses playback and immediately resumes it

This happens for Amarok and Spotify.

Whoops, sorry, I just read "media controls" and immediately assumed it was the infamous screenlocker breaking it bug we had in 5.10.0 :)

I can't reproduce your issue, though.

I've found someone with same problem on Manjaro (I've even copied part of report from there): https://forum.manjaro.org/t/media-controls-are-broken-kde/24121

This behavior started somewhere along 5.9 versions, however I'm not sure when.

Spotify reacts for each action twice, play/pause, skip.
Amarok navigates between tracks just fine - play/pause happens as I've described. I have a feeling that Amarok needs more time to react thus one signal get lost/ignored, because even play/pause works fine from time to time.

What can I do to help you investigate?

run dbus-monitor
press a key

then attach the output.

And this behavior magically stopped. Spotify works fine now. So does Amarok.
If it will happen again I'll try to reopen this bug.
