So this place is a bit confusing, hope this is the right place to comment. I would like to politely add my support behind this request as well, to expand a bit: have an option to reuse the current instance and replace the playlist instead of opening a new window when opening a file from Dolphin, this is the default behaviour on most video players.

I do something like that via qdbus, perhaps you could create a script to that effect.

Could you provide the details?

With things like
>  qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.haruna /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.OpenUri "$1"
>  qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.haruna /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Play

You can probably use qdbusviewer to see which methods are available.

Thank you

Bumping the request as it is the only thing stopping me to switching to Haruna.
