Issue w/ opera #333

Open oham9 opened 2 months ago

oham9 commented 2 months ago

I'm trying to use on Opera (111.0.5168.25), but it doesn't appear upon using playerctl -l. (spotify does appear and work just fine).

Am I forgetting to do something, or should I install something on opera to make it work? Please let me know.

Specs:

Ubuntu    == 22.04
playerctl == v2.4.1
Opera     == 111.0.5168.25

Yeah, I installed playerctl due to the requirement for waybar and it seems that most things aren't working. Firefox isn't, Chromium isn't, mpv isn't. VLC is, though.

UPDATE: I installed the mpv-mpris plugin and playerctl can control mpv fine now. Chromium works as long as you're watching a video (but I get a "no player" message when not watching a video). Same in Firefox, after I reenabled hardware media keys (I previously disabled it to stop Firefox from creating thumbnails of every video I watch). Chromium's setting can be accessed via chrome://flags/#hardware-media-key-handling; maybe Opera has it disabled by default.
