Can't play after install missing plugins

So basically you need to restart Noise after installing the necessary plugins? It's a one-time restart?

That's why I understand from reading the report

If a fix for this bug can't be found, I suggest we tell the user "You need to restart Noise to start playing music" or something like that.

This is almost like an "upgrade" to Noise. It's OK to force a restart on an app which has just been upgraded, we just need to tell the user to restart and they will.

I would much much much rather it gets handled by the app rather than saying, "Oh, hey, can you do this for me? I'm not smart enough to take care of it myself. Thanks..." Ideally it would install the plugins then play the song once they're installed without any sort of a restart.

Ideally Noise could restart the music playing backend automatically without closing the window.

Less ideally, the whole app closes and relaunches itself.

least ideally, it throws up an error message about restarting that most people probably will not read.

Maybe stopping and restarting Gst module could be useful.

Seems to be a fundemental problem in the event that's triggered when the plugins are installed. It fails and spits out the error:

assertion SELF == null failed.
Noise will not function properly.

No need to restart the app. We can proceed as Mario suggested and only restart the player backend.

Okay, I made a branch that sort-of helped. Basically, if my debugging is right, it completely didn't run the method that is called when the installer completes. I made the method async and added a yield. That made it run, but it still doesn't work completely.

Sorry for spamming this report, but in further testing, when I, install the plugin the first time, I can then attempt to play a song and then attempt to re-install the plugin. Without restarting the music then plays. It seems that somehow, when the installation is repeated it works.

This bug is not fixed!
