Cinnamon integration not working on Debian

[Yournished]

I used Pragha on Manjaro and I really liked it, so I decided to use it on my Debian computer as well. However, the very nice integration I remember from Manjaro is not working anymore.

Specifically, my media keys to start/stop track do not work, and the volume icon does not change to a media icon when music is playing. I assumed the problem is Cinnamon, but I notice that Spotify manages to work correctly.

Versions:

• Debian 10 (buster/testing)
• Prgaha 1.3.3
• Cinnamon 3.8.8

Hi @Yournished ,

In Manjaro did you also use Cinnamon?.
I do not know cinnamon but Pragha has three protocols to control it.

• MPRIS2, the most standard, and the multimedia keys are registered by MPRIS2 controller and this communicates with pragha.
• gnome-media-keys: This deprecated by gnome in favor of Mpris2, but the operation is similar.
• 'Global Hotkeys' plugin, that pragha registers multimedia keys, and controls globally by itself. Unlike the previous ones, this is optionally compiled. Maybe Debian not build this plugin.

@Yournished not only in manjaro but also in arch, pragha does not show the system tray icon
