Description Kristian Polso 2020-10-01 15:42:40 UTC 
SUMMARY

This is kinda funny bug, but it has been happening for me for over 6 months now. When I close the lid on my (Arch linux) laptop with KDE Connect installed, it pauses the music that I am playing in my Android phone (also with KDE Connect installed).

My guess the problem has something to do with suspending the laptop, which sends a signal to Android phone? 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Play music on Android phone (any music / podcast app really)
2. Close the lid on laptop (suspend?)

OBSERVED RESULT
Music on phone pauses

EXPECTED RESULT
Phone should be unaffected

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.74.0
Qt Version: 5.15.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Android app version is 1.14.2

This also applies to computers. It is meant as a feature, as the laptop stops media playback when it is suspended. The issue here is that the playback being paused is on another device, which is an unintended consequence.

Ignore player's from KDE Connect when suspending

KDE Connect exposes remote players as local MPRIS players.
When suspeding this can result in music on another device being paused which is usually undesirable.
