Bug ID: 501180
Summary: The video progress information is missing from
program's icon on the panel
Classification: Applications
Product: Haruna
Version: 1.3.3
Platform: Debian stable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: generic
Assignee: georgefb...@gmail.com
Reporter: ilikef...@waterisgone.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The video progress information is missing from program's icon on the panel, so
integration with Plasma is not as good as it could be and it's also not good
for some use cases
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Play a video in windowed mode or full screen mode (on another screen)
2. Optional: Skip a bit ahead so it's a bit further away than the absolute
beginning (to make it easier to notice the problem).
3. Look at the program's icon in the panel.
OBSERVED RESULT
Unlike Discover at least, (with downloading and installing updates) the player
doesn't show the progress of the video playback in its icon on the panel.
I don't have any audio file at the moment, so I didn't test with that too.
EXPECTED RESULT
The player shows the video's progress.
So if:
1. You're playing a concert or music video minimized as you don't care to see
the image that moment since you just want to listen.
2. You're playing a movie on an another screen, like a monitor or TV, which
most likely is in full screen.
You should still be able to see the progress on that full screen movie on the
main screen program's icon in the panel.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
To better understand my use case at Home I have opposite to a sofa, near the
wall, next to each other:
The desktop computer, then the 5.1 AV receiver, then the TV. AV receiver in the
middle to get the sound passing through it.
With the desk and other supporting furniture there's considerable amount of
space between my desktop monitor and the TV, which makes things hard to see on
the TV from the computer's chair.
Anyway, with this setup I'm able to put from the desktop computer movies, tv
shows and concerts and the TV as the screens are in extended mode and I just
drag the video player window to the TV and double click on the image to make if
full screen.
To be able to see the video's progress on the TV without bothering my family
and friends for which I play the videos and also destroy their immersion, I
need to easily verify the progress without going with the mouse to the TV and
hovering around to see the progress bar.
That's also hard to do with the distance between the desktop computer that has
the mouse and the TV which I see at an angle.
While I was using Windows 7 + MPC-HC this was easily to be done as MPC-HC was
transmitting to Windows 7 the progress to color the icon accordingly.
Here on Linux, neither Haruna, nor MPV, or VLC show it.
But considering that Qt / Plasma has support for that as Discover clearly
demonstrate it (and maybe other programs too, but I don't remember which. Nate
also mentioned it years ago on its blog) and Haruna being build with Qt and a
KDE program, this should be possible and very helpful to have, besides making
the player more professional and integrated with Plasma.
Using the laptop's monitor to work on something while I have some video
playback on the external monitor is another case that I have from time ti time
and there too it's great to just look at the icon to know the status of the
playback.
BTW, when the playback it's paused, it would be nice that besides the progress
a yellow color will be shown to be more obvious at a glance that the playback
is paused for whatever reason. Or a red color if the last video from a
playlist was reached and the playback stopped.
That would probably require going into Dolphin to change the folder, like the
seasons of a tv show.
