[Bug 752033] Re: Music player should not show its main window if it launches when play button is pressed

 

Yeah, this is impossible in the current spec. It's definitely not a
Papercut: while you can start rhythmbox-client headless, there's no way
for media players to specify the command for their headless mode in the
desktop file.

Title:
  Music player should not show its main window if it launches when play
  button is pressed

Status in Sound Menu:
  Triaged
Status in “indicator-sound” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: indicator-sound

  When my music player is not running, the sound menu still keeps its
  music controls to keep things tidy. However, when I press the Play
  button, the player's main window opens! This is improper, because it
  is inconsistent with pressing Play or Pause from the menu when the
  player is already running and it is inconsistent with our presentation
  of the music player as a service. A user pressing this button should
  not expect the player's main window to appear.
