Sorry, what's the KDE Connect doing? And why is it getting notifications from Amethyst? Are you routing Amethyst's traffic through your desktop?

Nothing wrong with it, I just have never seen that before.

KDE Connect is a Linux App for you to interact with your phone while on the laptop/desktop.

KDE Connect is not just a Linux app. It's available for everything.

With KDE Connect installed, whenever I scroll to a video in Amethyst on my phone, a notification pops up on my Linux desktop giving playback controls.

In the Amethyst video/image feed tab, it's a notification every time you swipe to the next image or video.

KDE Connect is available for everything. Linux, Apple, MS, Android, Linux phones.

Very interesting. I am guessing this happens with the youtube app as well? When you play the video on youtube, does it give you controls on the desktop?

I don't use any Google / YouTube or YouTube apps, so I don't know how they behave.

NewPipe it's an open source YouTube client.

From NewPipe on my phone, when I play a video it doesn't force a notification to my laptop.

Instead, with KDE Connect instalked, and with a video playing in NewPipe, if I choose, I can click the music icon in the laptop's taskbar to dee the playback controls.
