SUMMARY When I use my browser (Firefox) for media playback, I was used to get a notification on my phone to control playback. I don't remember since when, but for some time now, it does not work anymore. There is just no notification. It works perfectly with all my local music players and for video at least with VLC. The thing is everything works just fine on my wife's phone with Android 6. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start a Video in Firefox 2. Look at your phones notification area OBSERVED RESULT nothing happening there ... EXPECTED RESULT See media controls ADDITIONAL INFORMATION KDE Connect for Android from F-Droid app store: Version 1.13.7
I have to add: When I go to the app and navigate to the "media controls" I get all the usual controls. It's just the notification which is missing.
I see the media control notification for media playing in Firefox. Do you have the Plasma Browser Integration plugin for Firefox installed? https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Browser_Integration
(In reply to Simon Redman from comment #2) > I see the media control notification for media playing in Firefox. > > Do you have the Plasma Browser Integration plugin for Firefox installed? > https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Browser_Integration Yes, I use the plugin. Thankfully, since the last couple of updates the notification is back. Could there be any connection to phonecalls not stopping playback in my current browser window (even though I enabled it in settings)?
