Not showing player/metadata for Firefox' MPRIS implementation
v0.4.3
Hello,
Firefox v75+ has implemented support for the MPRIS protocol. Details can be found here and here. The gist is that media.hardwaremediakeys.enabled
and dom.media.mediasession.enabled
should be enabled in about:config
. Now newly loaded sites will register via the MPRIS protocol.
The Pulseaudio Plugin can now control Firefox using the media keys. However, it will not show Firefox as a player in the list, nor any of the metadata provided by Firefox. Firefox does provide metadata, as can be seen in this example of a Youtube video playing in Firefox 78:
$ playerctl -l
firefox.instance7182
mpv
$ playerctl metadata
firefox mpris:trackid '/org/mpris/MediaPlayer2/firefox'
firefox xesam:title Title
firefox xesam:artist Channelname
Is something missing or broken in the Pulseaufio Plugin's implementation?
Thanks a lot!
