After upgrading to v6.00.3064, KDE Media Player do not recognize AIMP anymore.

Reverting back to v6.00.3060 brings it back.

v6.00.3064 Beta 3
GTK3-64-bit (21.05.2026)
Linux / Fedora Linux 44 (KDE Plasma Desktop Edition) / KDE on WAYLAND

It works as expected on my CachyOS:

Unfortunately, I failed to reproduce the issue. Media Controls are displayed correctly for AIMP. I've tried on: Manjaro 26 and Debian 13.3 (KDE)
-
UPDATED: Even with the new 3065 version, it's still not displaying correctly for me.
Do you know where to find the log file or something similar to debug this? I'd like to see if I can find anything.

Start app from the console via "aimp" command. All internal and external app events will be output to the console screen

UPDATED:
After checking the log file, I realized there's a leftover file from previous installation that's messing up with the new install, causing KDE Media Player to not recognize it.
A complete removal and clean install of AIMP seems to fix the issue.
Thanks for the support!

What the file?
-
UPDATED:
After longer test, the issue came back.
At the time I didn't know what file. When I ran over the log via journalctl, I saw a strange crash so I thought leftover files are what caused the crash.

Clean install does fix the crash, but turned out that's not the real bug.
I did test on my other machine and it works without any problems, so further troubleshooting points me toward race condition of D-BUS and MPRIS service.
Basically the Media Player widget didn't see AIMP when I first started it, and only able to see it after I restart plasmashell.
here's the log on not-working machine: https://pastebin.com/6xuC6fXS (runs AIMP, restart shell, media player sees AIMP but global media controller doesn't work)
here's the log on working machine: https://pastebin.com/6j9BJWVd (runs AIMP, media player sees AIMP and global media controller works)
So that got me thinking this might be KDE-related bugs.
However I still don't know why reverting back to 3060b works (3056b also works) and any version after that doesn't.

Please, try on build 3066 .

I am having the same issue in 3067, system media player does not catch AIMP.
it is pretty random
noticed that if aimp is started from cli, it may be not connected to system player
but if player is restarted via itself (like "restart" button when you disable plugin), it attaches to system player
check attachment logs; you can see thee difference in loading org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.* actions at startup and at restart
v6.00.3067 Beta 3
GTK3-64-bit (03.06.2026)
Linux / Manjaro Linux 26.1.0-pre / NIRI on WAYLAND
upd works on gnome 50.1

What is your KDE version?

Hi,
I tested build 3066 and 3067 and notice the following:
1. Unfortunately in 3067, the issue is still there. I still need to restart the plasmashell for the widget to see AIMP, but doing this won't hook the global media control to AIMP.
Here's the log for 3067: https://pastebin.com/raw/q30utefm
2. I noticed a change of behavior in right-click then Play/Pause menu action.
(https://i.imgur.com/NfqGugW.png)
- For build 3065 and prior, right-click then Play/Pause will play the song from the start, not where it was left from the last play. I've been using Play/Pause as a workaround to get Media Player widget to hook to AIMP.
- Build 3066 and 3067 changes this behavior to actually start from where it was left from the last play. The above workaround is not possible anymore with build 3066 and 3067.
3. However, when I minimized it to system tray, Play/Pause again plays the song from the beginning. This behavior become the same as build 3065 and prior.
So by using the old workaround by minimizing and open AIMP via Play/Pause, I can consistently get KDE Media Player widget to hook to AIMP.
Global media control also works when the widget naturally hook to AIMP.
Log for this: https://pastebin.com/raw/Uz6gk8Kb
Since the problem is random and not reproducible on every machine, I put the video below so you can better understand what's going on.

Timestamp:
0:00 - Start AIMP normally
0:10 - Start AIMP via right-click then Play/Pause
0:18 - Start AIMP normally while it's minimized to sytem tray
0:28 - Start AIMP via right-click then Play/Pause while it's minimized to sytem tray

Does the Playerctl utility see AIMP in this case (when KDE does not see)?
-
Playerctl can still interact with AIMP even when the widget cannot see it.
-
Please, try this build:

Thanks.
I tried your build and the Media Player widget can see AIMP naturally now!

Good to listen that! Thanks you for testing
