spotify and chrome don't seem to show up in the plugin

ask-compu commented 2 years ago

playing any kind of content in both spotify (flatpak) and google chrome (flatpak) doesn't show up in this plugin, the plugin show no available players

mirobouma commented 2 years ago

Hm both Spotify and Chrome show up correctly in the media controls for me. Please make sure you run the flatpaks through game mode (they should show up only if they are running or in the background) and are running on the latest decky version (v2.0.5-pre13).

If this doesn't work, can you try running printenv | grep DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS in your console and verify that its set to unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus?

ask-compu commented 2 years ago

yes they're running through game mode, should i do the print thing in game mode?

mirobouma commented 2 years ago

ideally if you can yes (you can use PuTTY to ssh in and execute the command there

ask-compu commented 2 years ago

(deck@steamdeck ~)$ printenv | grep DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus

Hmm everything looks correct, so it should work... do you have discord? would be easier to help debugging. If so please join https://discord.gg/ZU74G2NJzk and in #support-plugins talk to me in the MusicControl Support thread

While having spotify open in game mode, running the following command: dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus /org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames should show org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify.. is that the case?

Also in the case that you are running on the preview steam deck branch, install version 1.0.2 of MusicControl from the decky plugin store and reboot to see if this has any effect

i am not on the preview branch, i'm on the default stable branch, and i'm already running version 1.0.2, should i be running a different version?

yep it's there

mirobouma commented 2 years ago

Issue was fixed by rebooting the steam deck, closing the issue, feel free to reopen if the problem reoccurs (but most likely will be a decky loader issue if that happens)

ask-compu commented 2 years ago

seems a reboot of the steam deck fixed it somehow
