I tried to reproduce it, but it seems like it only happens in some situations. As a workaround for the moment try to start it from Terminal everytime you want to open the app. I will investigate further ...

Congratulations and many thanks for the update! Now my xperia x and my mi4 share notifications with android lg urbane! Thank you very much

Is there a meaning that I can not listen the music thag I play in my phone heard in the computer?

R1tschY's picture

Can you more explain what you are trying to do? You can only control the media player on the computer. It is not possible to play music with Sailfish Connect on your phone that is played by a media player on your computer.

delocoyo's picture

Exactly what I was asking. It will be possible , or is something that KDE doesnt havs in mind? Thanks

R1tschY's picture

With PulseAudio you can stream audio to your phone: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Examples#PulseAudio_over... Maybe it works on Sailfish.

KDE Connect does not provide this feature.

delocoyo's picture

Awesome!!! Thanks

It is somehow uninstalled with SFOS 4.0.1. Is  there some library dependency whicht kicked it out?

 

R1tschY's picture

Thank you for reporting. I will have to release the version 0.6 earlier than I wanted. Hopefully this will happen on this weekend and before SFOS 4.0.1 is released to all users.

tanghus's picture

Is it installable after the upgrade?

ade's picture

yep, libcontextkit-statefs-qt5.so

Ok, adjusted some things, and now get "...error permission denied. Dconf will not work properly..." Tried as root also, and the same...

I am using Debian Sid installatiin on my phone with Containers app. I got KDE Connect installed, and installed Sailfish Connect on the phone, and the devices recognize each other, and connect, and keyboard function is working, and I get no error when making a file transfer, but I can't find the transferred files, (there's also no confirmation, but not sure if there is supposed to be).... Where would yhe transferred files usually end up?update - seems like transfer is not happening. Any ideas?

R1tschY's picture

File transfers are saved to the downloads folder. Notifications are part of the next release (0.6). For debugging start application from command line.

levone1's picture

Got successful transfer to SFOS using contex menu in Nautilus. Command line output when trying to send from SF to Linux is, '
[W] unknown:0 - discarding unsupported packet
"kdeconnect.notification.request" for "user@C1
"'

Send ping works both ways, and notifications received on both ends. Keyboard works also...

R1tschY's picture

When SF can not send files to KDE Connect. Then KDE Connect can not create TCP connection to SF. Check that it is possible to reach SF from the other side, for example create a SSH connection to check it.

levone1's picture

File transfer from Linux to SF works fine. File shows up in Downloads on the phone...

levone1's picture

Ok, I'll check it out. .. Thanks

Branja's picture

Is there a way to implement media player controls in minimized app/multitasking view?

R1tschY's picture

Possible, but more than one cover action is not recommended and many actions like play are not useful when more than one player exists.

Ezreal's picture

Hope to change the download directory

R1tschY's picture

Will be part of next bigger release

vince07's picture

Thank you for this apo. Like it a lot. I wonder is het possible to scroll with two fingers? In the android app it is.

R1tschY's picture

I was not able to recognize the gesture. MouseArea.onWheel did not work. I can try to figure out how it works.

objectifnul's picture

Since SFOS3.x, notifications are no longer sent to the computer.

R1tschY's picture

Do you use GSConnect or KDE Connect? For GSConnect it is known that some notifications sended from SailfishConnect are not shown.

objectifnul's picture

KDEconnect.

R1tschY's picture

The problem should be fixed with version 0.5.1-1.

objectifnul's picture

V0.4-1.1 sends zero-byte files to the phone.

sdiconov's picture

Unable to pair with desktop. Both PC (linux, kde-connect) and jolla1 phone (sailfish connect) are in the same subnet connected to the same router. Ping works, firewalls disabled, but the devices do not see each other and the phone is not detected as a connectabke device.
