Odd, because it worked for me in 5.7.0 and only broke after updating to 5.7.1.
I shall assume packaging, then.

End users simply won't care whose fault it is. It worked, it no longer works,
they see the error in plasma. So at least a workaround would be nice, because
fixing it does not only require it being commited to amarok (which, as far as I
can see, didn't happen yet) but also someone making a release out of that and
it ending up with packagers. That might take a while, given amarok activity,
and in the meantime it stays broken for users.

As a minor sidenote: as I wrote it works in the media player control plasmoid,
so either that one uses what you consider a wrong method to, or it has a way
which would not break it, maybe that's worth being investigated.
