I use plasma-browser-integration (not using KDE) to get firefox websites (like youtube, netflix..) to respond to mpris commands like play/pause, and to get the playback status (playing/paused) so I can control media using my media keys and so I can display what's currently playing in polybar.



Sadly, with export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct" in my .xinitrc, the dbus service org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.plasma-browser-integration that controls the browser doesn't load.



I need that environment variable because some qt apps like VLC look like shit when I don't have it set.

          Instead of using qt5ct to theme my qt apps, I found that I can use Kvantum instead:



          1. Install kvantum and configure themes with kvantummanager.


          2. Use export QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=kvantum instead of export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct".


          This fixed all problems.
