--- Comment #7 from NW <nw9165-jjnfov5...@yahoo.com> ---
Hi,

Thanks for clarifying the default behavior of KDE Plasma. Is it documented
somewhere since when KDE Plasma defaults to this behavior and why this behavior
was made the default?

The bug report would still be valid, since it is reporting that there is no UI
option for users to alter the default behavior. And with Wayland, users would
also not be able to alter the behavior via the terminal (please feel free to
correct if wrong).

That would be outside of KDE Plasma's control though? Because not all media
player apps are part of KDE Plasma. And as such, KDE Plasma can not ensure that
all media players will behave this way, right? Is there a known list of apps
which change the content type on their own?

Not every user might want the TV to automatically switch from one mode to
another mode just because an app decides to do so. Whereas some users might be
fine with that. As such, adding a drop-down, which allows users to set the
content type, would be preferrable.

That said:

Perhaps KDE Plasma's current default behavior could be retained and could be
named "Automatic" on the new "Content Type" drop-down in "System Settings ->
Display and Monitor -> Display Configuration"?

That way the "Content Type" drop-down would allow to choose from:

* Automatic
* None
* Graphics
* Photo
* Cinema
* Game

Would that work?

And would selecting a specific content type from that drop-down (other than
Automatic) prevent apps from changing the content type? Or would apps still be
able to change the content type on their own, even if the user has selected a
specific content type from that drop-down?

Regards
