--- Comment #5 from sowi...@dukun.de --- It's a tricky bug and for now it looks like it depends a lot on chance. I tried the combination with Youtube + VLC, and that work flawlessly for my tests today (failed before too). But Soundcloud + VLC with various pause/resumes gets the widget in several incorrect states. It could be that it works better when the widget is pinned, at least it *feels* like it. Problems that I found, but couldn't reproduce every time: Problem 1: Step 1: VLC playing, Soundcloud playing → Soundcloud selected as main, playing ✓ Step 2: VLC playing, Soundcloud paused → Soundcloud selected as main not playing, VLC shown as not playing Step 3: Close the Soundcloud tab in FF, VLC still playing → main: "No media playing", I can still control VLC through its tab inside the widget, but the widget's main tab refuses to acknowledge VLC Restart of VLC fixed it. Problem 2: Step1: VLC playing, Soundcloud playing → Soundcloud selected ✓ Step2: VLC playing, Soundcloud paused → VLC gets selected ✓ but pause button is grayed out. Problem 3: Step1: Click inside Dolphin on media file, VLC starts, plays → is shown inside widget Step2: Instead, open VLC manually, open file inside VLC (drag from Dolphin), click play → is not shown inside widget My guess is that there are some events transmitted between media player and widget that get lost *some* times. If only one event is lost, the media widget gets in an invalid state that it can't recover from. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
