That is intentional to save energy. When opening the popup, it queries the current position from the player, which doesn't seem to work here. I have never experience this behavior. Can you try to reproduce with a different player? YouTube in Firefox via Plasma Integration plugin and Deadbeef with mpris2 plugin work fine. So it must be an issue with Spotify - I use flatpak version. I believe widget in 5.12 worked also for Spotify, but I'm not 100 % sure. Also I noticed that widget doesn't show album art from Spotify. This definitely worked in 5.12 widget. Hm, I just had the slider stuck, but after plasmashell restart it worked. Definitely something wonky there, perhaps related to Bug 394562 Can you check the output of qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.THEPLAYER /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Metadata (with THEPLAYER being e.g spotify or something, check with qdbus | grep mpris), there should be a "mpris:artUrl" in there, if not, that's the player's fault. Sure. ~> qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Metadata mpris:artUrl: https://open.spotify.com/image/42bc52195b896337bbc2fccbb838d5b903efc1ab mpris:length: 355613000 mpris:trackid: spotify:track:1c3eluqs0Cl9b4Zswqn9c5 xesam:album: Orthodox / Mortal Memories xesam:albumArtist: Krabathor xesam:artist: Krabathor xesam:autoRating: 0.01 xesam:discNumber: 1 xesam:title: Slavery - Bonus Track xesam:trackNumber: 15 xesam:url: https://open.spotify.com/track/1c3eluqs0Cl9b4Zswqn9c5 So there is an URL for cover and yet cover is not displayed. Also progress bar is stuck at 0:00. When I switched next song, cover is still not displayed, but progress bar starts when I open widget and behaves like I described in bug. However I just found out, that when I turn on VPN, which only has connection via proxy, spotify goes to offline mode and widget starts showing covers. I have automatic proxy configuration. So this whole cover problem seems to be on my side and related to proxy. I guess we should forget about covers for now and focus on progress bar. Alright, thanks for your investigation. What's the output of $ qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Rate Should be 1 or at least greater than zero. This is what tells it how fast the track is being played so it can update the slider accordingly on its own. Also please $ qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Position Check if that changes as the track advances, and finally $ qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.CanSeek Whether we can actually seek at all Spotify flatpak org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Rate = 1 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Position = 0 (always) org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.CanSeek = false I also checked DeaDBeeF org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Rate = 1 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Position = long int that changes org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.CanSeek = true So it looks like spotify must be fixed, right? Yes, looks like a Spotify bug. Please file a bug report with them, closing this bug now. Thanks a lot for your patience and help! |
Created attachment 113708 [details] spotify Media Player widget doesn't update song progress in the background. When a song is playing for like 1 minute and I click on widget it only then starts progress bar. And when I close widget, progress bar stops. When I open widget it continues where it stopped when closing.
