Created attachment 132093 [details] popup - user-friendly name for remote output SUMMARY I stream audio, via local network, from my laptop to the speakers connected to my desktop computer. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio#Networked_audio STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. stream audio via local network to remote pulseaudo server 2. hover over sound icon in the system tray 3. OBSERVED RESULT As we can see in the attached screenshots, plasma-pa applet shows user-friendly name for the remote pulseaudio output in its popup but it does not in its tooltip. EXPECTED RESULT name of remote pulseaudio output should be user-friendly in the tooltip of plasma-pa applet too. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.75.0 Qt Version: 5.15.0
Created attachment 132094 [details] tooltip - name for remote output is not user-friendly
The bug is somewhere in how the applet sets Plasmoid.toolTipSubText: in main.qml. Either the port is getting set incorrectly such that port.description is set to the wrong string, or paSinkModel.preferredSink.name is set to the wrong string. Probably a good junior job.
Fixed on neon unstable. :) https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-pa/-/merge_requests/61
