Bug Reports

Most players should just work. If something doesn't work as expected with your favorite player, I'm sorry, but to put it bluntly, your favorite player is probably broken.

When creating a bug report please follow these simple guidelines:

  • DO NOT report bugs here against out of date distro packaged versions of this extension. The only developer supported versions of this extension are the current git master and the most current version here. Once a distro packages and freezes the version of this extension the burden of support falls on the distro. Bugs filed against out of date distro packaged versions will be marked as invalid and closed.

  • DO NOT report bugs here that complain that this extension does not work with whatever out of date GNOME Shell version you happen to be using. This extension makes no claim or effort to work with anything but the most current stable version of GNOME Shell. Older versions may exist and be installable via https://extensions.gnome.org but bug fixes and features will not be backported. Bugs filed against out of date GNOME Shell versions will be marked as invalid and closed.

  • DO NOT file bugs reports asking to enable specific features for players. As explained in the User Guide it's up to the player to expose/support functionality.

  • Please look though the issues, both open and closed and Known Player Bugs to make sure not to file a duplicate issue.

  • Please remember that no one gets paid to work on this extension, we do it because we enjoy it, so be patient and kind. See the code of conduct.

  • Be prepared to help fix the bug you are reporting. That could mean writing some code if you're capable. At the very least it means providing additional info upon request and/or helping testing potential fixes. "Drive by" bug reports will be closed.

Feature Requests

This extension for the most part is considered feature complete. There are no plans to add any additional major features. Although if it's a really neat idea then I may consider it. But just like bug reports, remember if it's your idea, you're helping, or it's not getting done. Features requests that would require user configuration will not be considered however. So it better be something that's always on or that intelligently and programmatically turns it self on and off. One off player specific features will also not be considered.
