Widget is empty

[KOT040188]

http://itmages.ru/image/view/6173594/3799b749 This picture shows that the widget is empty. This behavior of the widget is observed in kubuntu 16.04 and mint 18. At the same time its settings open normally.

Same here, openSUSE 42.3. Using DE: KDE 5.32.0 / Plasma 5.8.7 MP: Clementine 1.3.1 Just work the button Pause and not resume again.

[KOT040188]

What am I supposed to do?

[ghost]

I will fix, give me a hours.

What is your media player? @KOT040188

[KOT040188]

I updated kubuntu before 17.10 and the widget began to show its interface. But he works strange. It does not support lollypop and cantata. I do not have other audio players. The widget supports only kradio. Immediately after starting and pressing the pause button, the widget sets the sound in the system to zero. The following presses on this button work fine. Strange widget ...

[jsmitar]

Only occur with KRadio?

Immediately after starting and pressing the pause button, the widget sets the sound in the system to zero.

Do you have enable Mpris support in Cantata?

it does not support lollypop and cantata.

[KOT040188]

Only occur with KRadio?

I have no other applications.

Do you have enable Mpris support in Cantata?

The regular audio player management widget works well with lollypop and cantata. Why can not PlayBar2 do this?

[jsmitar]

Then it must be an bug from my widget.

The regular audio player management widget works well with lollypop and cantata. Why can not PlayBar2 do this?

[jsmitar]

I'm downloading cantata and lollypop to test my widget.

If I find the error, I will notify you.

[jsmitar]

I try to start Lollipop but it does not start.

With respect to cantata, my widget works normally, I can use play/pause, stop and seek slider. what exactly the problem?

[KOT040188]

Kubuntu 17.10 + backports. The playbar2 2.5 widget does not work with lollypop and cantata.

[jsmitar]

Please follow this steps:

1. go to Cantata configure...
2. Interface > click on tab: External
3. check MPRIS D-Bus interface
4. check show icon in notification area

play any song, close cantata from the titlebar and paste a screenshot.

[jsmitar]

show me a screenshot of cantanta and playbar

[KOT040188]

I can make it easier. I'll write a video tomorrow.

[jsmitar]

ok, dont worry

[KOT040188]

https://youtu.be/qV6zJld4dRY But I managed to get the PlayBar2 widget to work with lollypop and cantata. The problem is that PlayBar2 does not know how to switch between applications on the fly. The standard widget kde knows how to do this. Kradio starts with the system and hangs in the tray. Therefore, if you click on the play button in PlayBar2, it will turn on Kradio. If you close Kradio, then PlayBar2 will be able to switch to the next running player and become attached to it (eg lollypop). On the other players, he will not react until I turn off the lollypop.

[KOT040188]

https://youtu.be/VCYEiqHZ-Hc This video shows that the sound level in the system is set to zero when the pause button is first pressed.

[KOT040188]

I really liked PlayBar2. I want to use it. But these bugs interfere with me ...

[jsmitar]

@KOT040188 Hello again. Give me a few minutes I will try to understand what happens.

[jsmitar]

It is possible that it is an error of KRadio4, I was only able to reproduce the bug once, however I will continue testing with KRadio.

This video shows that the sound level in the system is set to zero when the pause button is first pressed.

I suppose it is an error in how PlayBar selects the source automatically.

The problem is that PlayBar2 does not know how to switch between applications on the fly.

Can you try to run playbar from the terminal and paste the output of the terminal? plasmoidviewer -a audoban.applet.playbar

remember install plasma-sdk to use plasmoidviewer

[KOT040188]

It is possible that it is an error of KRadio4, I was only able to reproduce the bug once, however I will continue testing with KRadio.

No. If I do not run kradio, then the behavior of playbar2 with other players will be exactly the same.

I suppose it is an error in how PlayBar selects the source automatically.

Playbar2 does not know how to automatically select a active player. He is attached to the first running player. This is the problem. Standard widget can automatically select the active player.

Can you try to run playbar from the terminal and paste the output of the terminal?

I can do it tomorrow. It's night ...

[jsmitar]

Please test with this version, now you can select the prefered source. https://github.com/audoban/PlayBar2/tree/newfeatures

[KOT040188]

Sorry, but I can not compile

[KOT040188]

How do I get the finished compiled widget?

[jsmitar]

Download the version of the branch newfeatures and install the dependences for build Playbar. and for install the widget:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make && sudo make install

Playbar newfeatures

[KOT040188]

Why can not you give me a finished package? I do not understand what to do.

[KOT040188]

I was told a little what to do.

I didn't have a environment with Debian build a package.

Why can not you give me a finished package? I do not understand what to do.

Run this commands from the terminal

# clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/audoban/PlayBar2.git
cd PlayBar2
git checkout newfeatures

# build the widget

cd build
