greyed out play button
Created attachment 171833 [details] another example of greyed out play button taken by this user on KDE Discuss: https://discuss.kde.org/u/jonzn4SUSE/ IIRC this is a recent bug in VLC's MPRIS implementation. Do you recall what I might be thinking about, Ivan or Fushan? I just encountered the same bug. Should be a bug in VLC which is ancient enough.

Pushed by fusionfuture into branch 'master'. applets/mediacontroller: use Play/Pause to control players Some players don't report updated CanPlay or CanPause properties to MPRIS, which is a problem for PlayPause() as it requires the player can play and pause at the same time. Use Play/Pause to work around it.

Now it can be paused, but cannot be resumed. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0 Qt Version: 6.8.0 Graphics Platform: Wayland Can you please open a new bug report for it, and put this one (490569) in the "See Also" field? Thank you! Report the bug to VLC please The same issue is happened to me with the Strawberry media player (and also VLC). Glad to hear I'm not alone with this. I've reported the issue on the Strawberry repository: https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/issues/1546 My understanding is that the KDE media widget signaling has been reworked, and media players now need to consider that change on their end. Is that correct? What version of Plasma are you using, Cre8or? I'm currently on KDE Plasma 6.1.5. Thanks. |
