Rhythmbox showing a song playing in the Media Player applet
SUMMARY
Virtually every media player under KDE Plasma (on desktop) will allow the Media
Player applet to control its playback. This is even true for connected
Bluetooth devices which are streaming music to the system. AudioTube does not
allow this, however. I assume this is the same for other desktops such as GNOME
which implement similar controls.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open AudioTube on any Linux distro with KDE Plasma
2. Start playing something
3. Open the Media Player taskbar applet and confirm AudioTube is not recognised
OBSERVED RESULT
AudioTube is not controllable with KDE Plasma's Media Player applet.
EXPECTED RESULT
AudioTube is well integrated with the desktop system and allows seamless
control via the Media Playback applet.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma: 23.04.1
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.107.0
Qt Version: 5.15.9
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Controlling playing media this way should be desktop-independent, for example,
other music players also allow playback control in a headless environment, such
as 'playerctl' on a terminal. AudioTube is understandably a mobile-focused
program, however I think it works extremely well as a music player also on
desktop, and features such as this should be considered.
