Description Marc Deslauriers 2017-12-13 15:04:51 UTC 
MPRIS media player controls are displayed in the message tray. This is an odd location to show them, and is quite undiscoverable.

Clicking on the volume icon is the more natural place to find settings and information related to currently playing music.

In fact, I installed another MPRIS extension at first because I didn't even realize there were controls there.

Perhaps they should be moved, or some sort of indication displayed next to the clock?
Comment 1 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 14:33:23 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of  gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
