Chrome has its own MPRIS service these days. It doesn't work very well which is why the multiplexer is patched to prefer p-b-i if both are present. It still offers manually using either one of them, though. at least we can disable browsers mpris service chrome://flags/#hardware-media-key-handling opera://flags/#hardware-media-key-handling |
Created attachment 127669 [details] screen recording SUMMARY The dropdown of Media Player applet that we can use to select the player to control shows duplicated entries of Chromium playing youtube video. Only one of them is able to control the playback. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. play a youtube video with Chromium 2. click on the Media Player applet in systray 3. open "Choose player automatically" dropdown OBSERVED RESULT Two "Chromium" options. One of them can control the playback, the another one can not. Watch the attached screen recording please. EXPECTED RESULT just one funcional "Chromium" option. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.70.0 Qt Version: 5.14.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Opera browser is also affected, but I see "Opera" and "Chromium" options instead of two "Chromium" ones. Playback can only be controlled if "Opera" is selected.
