REPRODUCIBILITY: 100%
BUILD ID = OS VERSION: 4.3.0.12 and 4.4.0.64
HARDWARE: X10II and X10III
UI LANGUAGE: Finnish
REGRESSION: Yes, worked in 4.2.0.21
DESCRIPTION:
mpris-proxy isn’t running by default. This leads into Bluetooth headset play/pause/prev/next buttons not working.
PRECONDITIONS:
Deezer installed (Spotify should do, too) and a suitable Bluetooth device connected.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
- Start the music on the player
- Click play/pause
EXPECTED RESULT:
- Music stops
ACTUAL RESULT:
- Music keeps playing
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
This worked fine with SFOS 4.2 on the same device, but stopped after updating to 4.3.
WORKAROUND
Install and open a terminal and launch mpris-proxy
. It stays on the foreground, so you’ll have to keep the terminal open. Now all the controls work as expected.
Alternatively, if you have developer mode enabled, a more convenient way is to install screen
and run mpris-proxy
there, and then C-a d
to detach it. The terminal can then be closed.
