Bug ID: 441934 Summary: Media controls don't recognize when media players terminate Product: kde Version: unspecified Platform: Debian unstable OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org Reporter: david.cortes.riv...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY After an update to plasma 5.21.5, the media controls (the kind that by default show as a tray icon with a play button and allow pausing and playing next track) do not recognize when a media-playing application terminates, keeping the controls for a media that was previous playing after it is closed. The only media-playing app that deactivates the controls correctly after closing is the plasma browser integration (tested in a chromium-based browser). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add a media control widget to the taskbar so that media controls will be clearly visible, ideally choosing some widget that would display the name of the media that is playing to make the bug more clear. 2. Play some video or audio file through e.g. JuK, VLC, or whatever other app (save for web browsers which still work correctly). 3. Either close the app that was playing media, or stop the media that was playing through the button that looks like a square (if the app has it). Perhaps make sure the app was killed from ksysguard as an optional step. OBSERVED RESULT The media controls keep triggered with the media that is not playing anymore, but do not do anything since the application they try to control is no longer running. EXPECTED RESULT Should deactivate once the media-playing application terminates or the media itself terminates (e.g. video reaches the end).
