Description Enrico 2023-04-24 07:54:06 UTC

SUMMARY
***
Hello,
I'm using VLC as snap package and find out that kdeconnect can't restart the playback after pausing it.
The other buttons work fine (fast forward/stop/pause) and also the playback time and status are showed correctly.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Play a video in VLC snap
2. Pause the playback from the KDE Connect app (it works fine)
3. You can't restart it

OBSERVED RESULT
The "Play" button in the app is grayied out and it can't restart the playback.

EXPECTED RESULT
Should restart the playback

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Kubuntu 23.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.104.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Resume the playback works on VLC  (deb package) and on Haruna media player (deb package) so it seems related to the snap, but all the other features seem to work fine also with the snap package. It only can't resume the playback

Hello,
today I received the last update to KDE Connect 1.24.3 on my Android phone and now it magically works.
I'm not sure if it's really due to the Android app update or something else, but I'm closing this bug report since this bug no longer happening

Happy to hear it's resolved. There were a ton of fixes and changes by different people in this last release, so it might very well be the update :)
