I just experienced the same. When I pause in VLC, the Play button becomes grayed out in Task Manager and Media Controller, even though DBus viewer and plasmaengineexplorer report CanPlay true. From what I can tell it's VLC not signalling a change of the CanPlay property. When the player starts, it reads the CanPlay property (false if you just started VLC and its playlist is empty), then you play something and pause, it never gets told that CanPlay changed. What VLC version is this? I'm on 2.2.2. This happens on both version 2.2.6 and the most recent Git-Version based on QT5. I'll try to bisect Any new Information about this? Could you bisect the issue? *** Bug 407939 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
Created attachment 106670 [details] The music cannot be unpaused in the plasmoid for no apparent reason. Description: If i play an audio file with vlc from my local media library, the Media Player Plasmoid is visible in the system tray. After clicking the Pause-Button in the middle, it is greyed out and i can resume the music. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open VLC (Stable- or Git-Version) 2. Choose Media Library in the left pane (below the Playlist entry in the left pane) 2b. Add some music, if there isn't any music 3. Play the music 4. Open the Media Player Plasmoid in the System Tray 5. Press the Pause-Button Workarounds: 1. Using the media keys on my keyboard still works fine. 2. Using the Media Button in the Window-Preview of the Taskbar wotks fine too. This issue exists only since plasma 5.10 and newer. Plasma 5.9 and older worked fine. - Used Hardware: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 GPU: Geforce GTX 660 RAM: 16GB DDR4 Memory SSD: 480GB Crucial M500 - Used Software: Distribution: Manjaro Linux 64bit (based on Arch Linux) Linux Kernel: 4.12.1 Plasma: 5.10.3 KDE Frameworks: 5.36 QT: 5.9.1
