What happened?

Both Sound cinnamon applet and Enhaced sound continue to pick up every player but the one that is currently playing music... Really frutrating becasue everytime I want to control the music via the applet or keyboard I have to go back and select the right source... It keeps chaning even if there's only one source of sound...

Other information

On a side note: why Enhaced sound applets takes up so much screen time compared to standard sound applet???

Please use only one applet. When using the enhanced sound applet, you must remove the basic applet from the panel.

Yes, I use only one (Enhaced), in the video I had two just for demostration purpose. Anyway the problem persist even with just one.

I can't reproduce this problem.

ironhak commented 5 days ago

Did you try using Brave from flatpack?

claudiux commented 5 days ago

I'll try it.

ironhak commented 5 days ago

Hello, I think a found a way to reprocude:

Open Brave browser (or any browser I guess)
Go into a page where there is a video, or audio, player
Play content, then pause it but do not close the tab.
Open an audio/video player like audacious
Play audio
You'll see that even tough Brave is not playing and audacious is playing, the applet will switch to the browser every now and then, despite the fact that it's not playing anything.

I see. Thanks for reporting this issue.

claudiux commented 2 days ago

The playerctl metadata command continues to display the browser data, even if another player is running.

I'll try to fix it, but it may be a playerctl bug.

Perfect, thank you for mainting this and other amazing applets.
