OS:

Arch Linux (last updated in about 3:00 UTC)

GPMDP Version:

both:

  • 4.6.1 from AUR
  • 5332c05

Issue Descriptions:

After updating to KDE5.16.5, the media control applet no longer detects GPMDP. According to KDE changelog, that I think requests more strict MPRIS specification.

Players not compliant to MPRIS specification will no longer work with Media Controller applet. Commit. Phabricator Code review D22596

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Play any music.
  2. Media Controller applet has not reaction.
  3. Sometimes not working media control keys without MPRIS.
