Summary: SLIDESHOW: Support for the MPRIS media player
specification
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Impress

>From https://specifications.freedesktop.org/mpris-spec/latest/ :
> The Media Player Remote Interfacing Specification is a standard D-Bus
> interface which aims to provide a common programmatic API for controlling
> media players.
> It provides a mechanism for discovery, querying and basic playback control of
> compliant media players, as well as a tracklist interface which is used to
> add context to the active media item.
It is actually a nice fit for slideshows, with Gwenview adding support to it
lately: https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-18.04.0.php
Most controls are not mandatory, including the ones that are not a good fit to
a slideshow: play/pause/stop/seek (though I guess they could be enabled if
there is a video playing? I am not sure every mpris client supports this).
A nice touch would be to add a slideshow miniature trough the mpris:artUrl
metadata :)
This would allow the following:
* Control via media keys son some desktop environments (includes gestures,
remote controls, hardware buttons, etc)
* Control via widgets on some desktop environments (including the ones that
could be on a lock screen, for example)
* Control via any MPRIS controller (including remote ones, such as KDE
Connect's)
