Hello @oktayacikalin, thanks for reporting the issue. I'll look at it at the weekend.

Hello @oktayacikalin, it seems elementaryos no longer supports appindicators out of the box. How did you enable them?

[oktayacikalin]

Hi @jiri-janousek, I think I installed this one:

https://github.com/Lafydev/wingpanel-indicator-ayatana#:~:text=libwingpanel%2D2.0%2Ddev-,version%20odin(6)%20%3A,-sudo%20apt%2Dget

And now I have the following as an autostart item configured:

It might be a bug in that particular appindicator implementation. Since other appindicator implementations seem fine and the wingpanel-indicator-ayatana is not supported by elementary os, I'm going to put this issue to backlog until I have more time to investigate it further.

[oktayacikalin]

In fact elementary OS does not support appindicator and all those other older implementations at all.

Do you have a plan for an implementation which works out of the box?

[jiri-janousek]

I'm not sure what elementary feature actually replaced appindicators.

[jiri-janousek]

I'm closing this issue as I believe it is not a bug in Nuvola Player but in a particular app indicator implementation that is not under our control. I don't think there is any alternative in elementaryOS. I think the decision to retire app indicators is unfortunate but there isn't anything I can do with that :-(
