Bug ID: 460771
Summary: User selection of active media player is ignored
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.26.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Media Player
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: sephiroth...@hotmail.it
CC: k...@privat.broulik.de
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
This may be related to bug 455046 or bug 451393, but I think it is different
enough to be its own distinct thing. Before the update to Plasma 5.26.0,
selecting a media player in the widget would keep it selected as long as the
application was open. After 5.26.0, pausing playback means that the selection
is not respected any more and other media players can become the active ones.
To give a practical example, if I am listening to music with Strawberry and
pause it, and then I watch a video on YouTube using Firefox, the media player
widget will show Firefox as the active application, so I can no longer control
Strawberry even if I had manually selected it earlier.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select a media player manually in the widget and use it to play media
content
2. Pause playback
3. Start playback of media content with another application
OBSERVED RESULT
The other application hijacks control and is the one that actually receives
commands e.g. from media keys.
EXPECTED RESULT
The selected application stays selected so that it received input e.g. from
media keys.
