Dolphin can be a very nice music player to some of us - one of the two things, which block that use case currently, is that the music stops, once i hover with the mouse over another file - i hope its an easy job, to add an option in the settings, which create a new qt and KDE based music player ;) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Dolphin and open the info sidebar if not open yet (F11) 2. Hover over a music file 3. Press play 4. Hover with the mouse over another file 5. Get angry about that :) Actual Results: Music/Video stops to play Expected Results: Music/Video succeed to play

I like to mention, that it is possible to still show all the previews of other files, so long as the playback itself succeed So let the preview of the current selected file appear in the sidebar, succeed with a current playback and let the music player interface reappear, once the cursor point to an empty space and the panels. Since this seems to be in the interest of the community - see the votes - can i do anything to get this into further discussion and then maybe on the road map? Thanks a lot in advance
Is it solved with the feature "Autoplay on hover media files" introduced in https://phabricator.kde.org/D19782, introduced in Dolphin version, KDE Applications 19.08 ?
Thanks for your response, I really appreciate it. :) I mean it so that it continues to play the current file even when I move my cursor over another file, switch directory or do something of that sorts. Only the pause button and closing Dolphin is supposed to stop the playback..
I also confirm this "bug", when you manually select any file by clicking on it Dolphin should not select other files on hover, this makes the Info Panel almost unusable.
