Issues with Plasma integration - lack of features

[michaldybczak]

First, in system tray when I play media I get media player icon, where I can play/pause/forward music. Babe isn't showing there.

Second, I use global menus and Babe doesn't have them and I suspect there are some menus, because there should be toolbar and I don't see it, so I suspect it should be exported to menus.

System, Manjaro, Plasma 5.11.2, Babe installed today from AUR, git version.

Global menu seems to be working fine for me on Chakra using Plasma 5.12 and babe 1.2.1.

But I do miss the Plasma integration, as I can't use my laptop's function keys to pause/play music or move to the next or previous song as with other players using KDE's technologies.

At the moment babe is not working for me so I cant even test it. It doesn't gets any window and is always crashing a few seconds after launch - Segmentation fault.
I have babe-git from AUR.

I will probably uninstall it. My system works fine, everything is stable and Babe seems to be only app not working.

Also, Babe seems to be a dead project. It hasn't been updated for months, pull requests are hanging. It looks abandoned. Developers aren't responding for any Issues posted here either.
