Bug ID: 461891
Summary: Unable to disable media control shortcuts on lock
screen
Classification: Plasma
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: 5.25.5
Platform: Ubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: to.roma.from.kde...@qwertty.com
Target Milestone: ---
1. Listen to an audio recording in a MPRIS-capable app
2. Ensure that Settings > Screen Locking > Appearance > Show > Media Controls
is not checked
3. Lock the screen
4. Press the Play button on the keyboard
5. Observe that the audio starts playing
I’ve noticed that this applies even to voice messages in a chat app in a
browser (if plasma-browser-integration is installed), so privacy concerns are
much more severe than strangers potentially figuring out your favorite music
styles.
Suggested resolution:
1. If media controls are hidden in settings, also disable the keyboard
shortcuts
2. Alternatively, only enable the Pause and Volume Up/Down/Mute shortcuts, but
not Play
3. Optionally, provide fine-grained settings for the above.
