[Gnome] Media keys don't work after a while about mpv-mpris

[hoyon]

Thanks for using the plugin!

It very well may be due to multiple instances not playing well together. I've found that the handling of multiple players can be a bit flakey depending on the client.

As far as I can tell, I've followed the spec when it comes to dealing with multiple instances. The spec is available here.

Can you try debugging the issue using d-feet to find out if it is due to my plugin being unresponsive, or if gnome is not sending the correct command to the correct dbus bus.

I'm not too familiar with mpris integration in gnome so I can't really help you there - I use a custom mpris client I wrote in python.

After some research, that may be due to Gnome (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-settings-daemon/issues/45), I'll keep you posted when I have new info :)

Killing gsd-media-keys (which is automatically restarted) fix the issue, so it indeed appears to be a Gnome bug.

Thanks that's good to know. I'll close this for now then since it's not this plugin's bug.
