Created attachment 137518 [details] Gwenview causes media player icon to hide while music is playing If Firefox (or Elisa) is playing music, after launching Gwenview and selecting its tab in media player, the media player icon is hidden even if music is still playing and the media player tray widget is configured to be "Shown when when relevant". See attached video for more info.
The applet is configured to hide when nothing is playing. When you click on Gwenview's icon in the tab bar of the applet, you're telling the applet to monitor a source with noting playing. Ergo, the applet hides itself. Gwenview exposes playback information to the applet because you can use it to control a slideshow using standard MPRIS input sources (e.g. the applet, global shortcuts, KDE connect). You can safely ignore that functionality unless you're actually playing a slideshow.

I think redirecting the monitored source based on selected tab in Media Player is not intuitive at all, what an average user would expect is to control the appearance of the widget icon based on all playing sources which means that the widget icon should be visible if at least one source is still playing sound.
