Bug ID: 412074
Summary: Multimedia Controls - Process Name\Multiple Instances
Product: kdeconnect
Version: 1.3.5
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: common
Assignee: albertv...@gmail.com
Reporter: unfold1...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Using multiple instances of a media application for example VLC creates each
instance as "VLC media player <1>" "VLC media player <2>" etc. it is the name
being picked up by KDE connect and displayed in multimedia controls, however
when playing something it changes to the media currently playing. having
multiple instances of the same application makes it difficult to know which
application is which in multimedia controls.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Get Vlc media player
2. Go to Interface options in VLC and uncheck use one instance
3. Open a few VLC instances and have a video file open in each
4. Go to multimedia controls in KDE connect and look at the picked up instances
OBSERVED RESULT
Process Name is used in multimedia controls which makes multiple instances
appear as ordered lists
EXPECTED RESULT
Multimedia controls should pick up the name of the file open in the player or
the title to make it unique from the other instances of the same application
