Amethyst autoplays and broadcast everything. I uninstalled KDE Connect from my phone, and from my Linux computer, because it was making my computer go crazy with media notifications as I swiped through Amethyst on my phone.

There's probably a way to get KDE Connect to not do that, but I don't like my phone having the amount of access that KDE Connect gives to my personal computer. I was going to uninstall it anyways.

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.

Happens to me too lol. If you're using Amethyst with notifications, I think it's because it's showing you the link of the most recent media you opened on the app

Yea same, really annoying it never goes away lmao
