Bug Reports and Feature Requests
Before requesting a feature or filing a bug report please note that this extension is a MPRIS client, We do our best to expose as much functionality as possible but ultimately what we can do is defined by what the player makes available over the MPRIS interfaces. If the player exposes the MPRIS interface(s) and implements it/them reasonably correct the player should work with this extension. But if a player does not expose any MPRIS interfaces at all, as is the case for example with Musique or what it does expose is broken and we can't work around it there's nothing we can do. If you find that your favorite player does not work at all with this extension or any other MPRIS applet/widget, the Ubuntu sound menu for example, or that certain functionality that works with other players does not work with your favorite player you will need to file a feature request with the player to add MPRIS support, or file a bug report with the player to fix their broken MPRIS implementation. It is out of our hands.

Please look though the issues, both open and closed to make sure not to file a duplicate issue.
-
Please make sure your issue is not already noted in the Known Player Bugs section.
-
Please build and install from source to make sure your issue has not already been resolved and be prepared to test potential fixes. If you are unable/unwilling to do so solving your problem may be difficult or impossible.
-
Please include your distro name and version, GNOME Shell version, the name of the player(s) that exhibit the issue, and a concise description of your issue and be prepared to provide additional information upon request. If the creator of an issue does not respond to additional information requests or does not follow up with requests to test fixes in a timely manner it will be assumed that the issue is resolved and the issue will be closed.
-
Please remember that no one gets paid to work on this extension, we do it because we enjoy it, so be patient and kind.
This extension has a fairly complete MPRIS client implementation but as noted above we are limited as to what we can do as far as controlling a player by the player itself. That being said if you have a feature you would like to see added roll up your sleeves and put in a Pull Request if you are so technically inclined. If not feel free to file a feature request. If the feature makes sense and is possible it'll probably be added.
- Please keep feature requests in scope with the purpose of the extension, which is providing a secondary method to control a media player. Things like fetching and displaying song lyrics, notifications, launching media players, or doing much of anything else outside of the MPRIS spec aside from setting ratings will not be considered.
