<p>First I had it as part of the MPRIS Plugin but I decided to put it into a separate plugin because of the following reasons:</p>
<ul class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item">pactl or even pulseaudio could not be available</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">either the desktop or the client part could not be up to date and lack the required code</li>
</ul>
<p>Both would require a lot of conditional code inside the MPRIS Plugin that handles all those cases. If we have separate plugins we just check those conditions when loading the plugins and enable/disable the systemvolume plugin. Also the functionality is quite disjoint (althought of course somewhat related) so a separate plugin is more clear and maintainable. They only share an UI, but in my current work I encapsulate the UI parts into a own Fragment that can be easily moved to/reused at other places.</p>

<p>That's why it's work in progress :)</p>
<p>I think I can publish my current work soon-ish</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R224 KDE Connect</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D7993" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D7993</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>nicolasfella, KDE Connect<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>mtijink, KDE Connect, SemperPeritus, ahmedbesbes, daniel.z.tg, jeanv, tfella, aboudhar, seebauer, bugzy, progwolff, MayeulC, menasshock, ach, apol<br /></div>
