+1 here, mine is a Philips SHB7150, and the problem was already present at least in 14.10, maybe earlier.
Reason I'm commenting though: playing around with xev, it seems to take some black magic to predict whether I'll get XF86AudioPlay or XF86AudioPause. - If no app is playing, it's always XF86AudioPlay, regardless what combination of apps is running. - If rhythmbox is playing, it's XF86AudioPause. - If gmusicbrowser, mpv, or vlc is playing, it alternates between the two (but neither app responds to it regardless of state and event). - And mplayer probably doesn't register itself with whatever it is, since it always gets XF86AudioPlay. I also found that if vlc or mpv is focused, it does play when it's paused and I press the button; when it's playing, it will only pause every other press (thinking of the xev experiment above, I guess when the generated keysym is XF86AudioPause). The same is not true of gmusicbrowser. As for mplayer, if it's focused it responds exactly right. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1397142 Title: Sony SRS-BTM8 play/pause key not fully effective in Rhythmbox or Banshee To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-settings-daemon/+bug/1397142/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
