Example

As I said in the title, often when I play a video or a song with some software (Strawberry, Smplayer, others) the buttons with the right button in the menu do not show the buttons to pause or stop the video / song

Are you using PulseAudio or PipeWire?

Comment 3 Salvatore 2021-08-23 18:03:35 UTC

Pipewire. Having installed it immediately, I don't know if the problem persists with Pulseaudio

Comment 4 Nate Graham 2021-08-24 15:35:06 UTC

Thanks.

FWIW I cannot reproduce with PipeWire.

Comment 5 Nate Graham 2023-04-11 21:20:37 UTC

Are you able to reproduce the issue with Plasma 5.27.4 or newer?

Comment 6 Salvatore 2023-04-12 06:08:59 UTC

I think I haven't had the problem for a long time. The only thing I can think of is that MPV is not recognized by the KDE media player and the pause menu doesn't appear either, but I guess that's MPV's fault and not KDE

Comment 7 Nate Graham 2023-04-13 17:00:33 UTC

Indeed it is. Thanks for following up.
