I've just tested on KDE Neon, I'm afraid I can't reproduce this problem.
Also happens to me on Kubuntu 21.10 x86-64. Tested with current master (f111ba2b30a30c8aa40f48379353dcdcf6be6640). When playback starts, the window flashes, as if it was closed and reopened again. None of the shortcuts work then (left, right etc). Alt-tabbing makes it work again until I pause, at which point the window flashes again, and the shortcuts no longer work.
Is the option Video -> Stay on top set to "While playing"? If that's the case try to turn it off and see if it makes any difference.
Ah, indeed, that caused it, thanks!
Cool it works now. Is it some kind of race conditions?
I think SMPlayer loses the focus when it changes to stay on top, but I couldn't find a way to fix it. This problem seems to happen only on KDE.
Thanks, but my environment is XFCE 4.16 (xubuntu) and no kde libraries installed, so it seems not limited to KDE only...
The only solution I found so far is turning off the option to stay on top.
I'm running SMPlayer 22.2.0 rev 10060 64-bit on Windows 10 21H1 and have a similar issue, but with audio files only. I can't get Play/Pause to work at all with audio files (it works fine with video files).
I did get it to work temporarily, one time, by clearing out all the bindings for "play_or_pause" and then assigning only "Media Play" and "Space". Then I restarted SMPlayer and could not get it to work anymore, even repeating the same steps.
Media Play doesn't work, and Space doesn't work, and neither work on their own, either.
Disabling always-on-top makes no difference, not surprisingly. Sorry, I'm not sure if this is at all the same issue.
I have the same issue on Windows 10.
I'm listening a lot of audio files. This is how I can reproduce the bug.
I just ran into this issue. Changing the settings so that the video never stays on top solved it. I'm running: SMPlayer v. 21.10.0 (revision 10000) mpv version 0.34.1 Lubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
