[Enhancement] full MPRIS support #3472

Open avidseeker opened 1 year ago

avidseeker commented 1 year ago

Run some playlist. The following command works as expected.

playerctl play-pause

But

playerctl next
playerctl previous

results in 

No player could handle this command.

Could you please provide more details? playerctl isn't part of invidious, so I don't see how this issue is related.

avidseeker commented 1 year ago

playerctl is just a MPRIS utility.

Here's a simpler way to understand the problem.

In Gnome or KDE, run a playlist in Youtube, and you can play next/prev tracks from the media control panel. Run the same playlist in invidious, and you can't.

Oooh, okay, thanks for the explaination! I've always wondered how it worked, so here's the answer!

That's definitely something that needs to be addressed, yes!

Beatbump is a similar project to Invidious that supports this feature, but it's focusing on music videos. Might be helpful for implementing this feature.
