*** If you're not sure this is actually a bug, instead post about it at https://discuss.kde.org If you're reporting a crash, attach a backtrace with debug symbols; see https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** SUMMARY When playing music or media through apps like spotify, in the device currently using, alongside the stock app music player in notification, KDE Conenct also shows its media player in the notification. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Spotify while KDE Connect has a device connected. 2. Play media. 3. See notificaition panel OBSERVED RESULT Now what happens is there are 2 notifications for the same media, same app. And KDE Connect (given how it will always come after the app) will always appear first and the actual app later. This becomes annoying and happens everytime the media is paused/played even if the KDE notification is swiped away. EXPECTED RESULT This is supposed to happen when the media is being played on another paired device. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION A video is attached showing the issue. This is happening on all android devices I have. All are on android 14 if that helps. I used to have another unrelated issue with notification music player. It started right after updating to android 14 on that device. Hope this helps in the debugging.
Created attachment 169223 [details] Video showing the notification player appearing persistently while using spotify
I can't replicate this on two paired Android devices, one running Android 14 ("device A") and one running Android 13 ("device B"). Let me know if I have the exact reproduction steps correct: Preparation: 1. Ensure KDE Connect is running on both devices 2. Ensure both devices are paired and connected through KDE Connect 3. Ensure spotify app is installed and logged into the same account on both devices 4. Kill (force-stop) spotify app on both devices Reproduction 1. Open spotify app on device A 2. Start spotify playback on device A, using the app on device A 3. Look at notifications on device A. There is one notification from spotify with media controls, and one notification from KDE Connect saying that device B is connected. 4. Look at notifications on device B. There is one notification from KDE Connect with media controls, and one notification from KDE Connect saying that device A is connected. 5. Open spotify app on device B 6. Look at notifications on device A. There is no change since step 3. 7. Look at notifications on device B. The KDE Connect notification with media controls has been replaced with a spotify notification with media controls.
Note: based on discussion on Telegram, the version of KDE Connect Android this was reported on was 1.30.1.

Haven't tried that.
