I've been testing this with silo 51 and I still see the issue. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but these are my steps:
1- Start music in the music app 2. Check the indicator (controls are fine) 3. Move back to music scope 4. Check the indicator... controls are disabled and I cannot pause music until I put the focus on the music app again... this is maybe what the proposed branches implement (to grab back the MPRIS controls when we get the focus on music app)... I though it was going to be around which is the last app playing something. So if music app is the one playing music, then the controls are for music app, if we switch to another music source, then controls are changed for that other app... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity-scopes-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1538703 Title: Playlist next/prev controls only available when player is in foreground Status in Canonical System Image: In Progress Status in indicator-sound package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in media-hub package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in qtubuntu-media package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in unity-scopes-shell package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Switch to the dash (i.e. app scope) while music app is playing The indicator switches to mediaplayer with controls disabled Note also that the media player is shown with controls disabled on a fresh boot when no media has ever been played, the indicator should only show controls after playback.
