@JoeJoeTV This works for me if I select the sound source in the Sound applet. There is a "Choose player controls" option that should allow you to select between multiple MPRIS clients. (I have a similar use case myself. 😅)
You can also set key bindings in the applet settings to show the menu so that you can see which application is the current default MPRIS client.
Hi, I know of that option and I also use that, but that doesn't help with the Media Keys sadly. My workaround would have been to use playerctrl with rebound play/pause/skip/etc keys, but playerctrl has a problem with one MPRIS application I use, so I can't use that right now.
Issue I think it would be really nice, if one could prioritize applications for media key grabbing, since every time I open my web browser(chromium based) after my music player application, the web browser gets the media key focus, but I want my music player to have the focus. A solution, would be to disable this for the browser, but the problem is, that I sometimes actually want to use them in the browser. I propose a setting or similar, where you can either add programs, that don't get their media key focus taken away, if another tries to grab them or a system, where you can set priorities per program, so that the one with the higher priority gets chosen over other ones with lower priorities. A feature to disallow certain applications from getting the media key focus would also be nice, either a whitelist or a blacklist.
Steps to reproduce
Expected behaviour To be able to have more control over how the media keys work
