Indeed, the "blacklisted-media-players" settings key hasn't been honored for a couple of ubuntu releases.
The idea is that applications have UI to disable integration into the sound menu. For example in VLC, you can disable it in Preferences (look for "DBus control interface"). It might make sense to disable it by default for this app. ** Changed in: indicator-sound (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged ** Changed in: indicator-sound (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to indicator-sound in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1320634 Title: The "blacklisted-media-players" key doesn't work Status in indicator-sound package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I only want Audacious show in the sound menu. So I removed vlc from the "interested-media-players" to the "blacklisted-media-players" via dconf. So far everything works as supposed, but when I start vlc it adds itself to the "interested-media-players" and apears in the sound menu and stays there after vlc is closed At this point vlc is still in the"blacklisted-media-players". that should override the "interested-media-players" tag, but doesn't. screen: http://i.imgur.com/dOXGL0W.png I've also tested this with Rhythmbox; same problem.
