Bug ID: 490569
Summary: Regression: VLC media playback controls are partially
broken (tray widget and keyboard controls)
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.1.3
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Media Player
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: xxx43615...@gmail.com
CC: k...@privat.broulik.de
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Media playback through the VLC media player used to be controllable using the
tray widget or global keyboard shortcuts. Since some recent Plasma version
(likely 6.1 or after), playback can no longer be paused using the widget button
(keyboard shortcut still works) or resumed once paused (using either the tray
widget or keyboard shortcut). The other controls work fine, and this does not
occur with other media players.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install and open VLC media player (3.0.21)
2. Play an audio or video file
3. Attempt to pause playback using the tray widget, fails
4. Pause playback by other means
5. Attempt to resume it using anything except VLC itself, fails
OBSERVED RESULT
Clicking the tray widget's pause button does nothing. When trying to resume,
neither the tray widget nor the keyboard shortcut function. The "play" button
in the tray widget is greyed out while playback is paused. No further
indication of the problem.
EXPECTED RESULT
Playback should be controlled as normal.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Kernel 6.9.10-arch1
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.4.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2
VLC media player: 3.0.21
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is not a duplicate of #382412, since the keyboard shortcut still worked in
that case. This is also not a regression in VLC (tested back to 3.0.18).
