It's not you. It's how Android 8+ handles bluetooth media controls. Basically, the last app to play audio is the app that actually receives the media button presses. So, as I mentioned in a previous post, Squeeze Ctrl initiates and then immediate stops playing an empty audio track so that it can receive the button presses. However, once you press play, SB Player now becomes the last app to play audio so it gets the media button presses instead of Squeeze Ctrl. Fortunately, it's a problem I already solved for pre-Android 5.0 devices, so I should be able to re-enable it for 8.0+ devices. It requires an update to SB Player. It's just really annoying how Google gives you more flexible methods that worked for 3 versions and then decides to revert back to the old ways. -------------- Squeezebox apps for webOS, Android and Windows Phone, http://www.angrygoatapps.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wt0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96757 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
