We can try to handle the media keycodes, I will update the patch in that sense. Thanks for the research Michael.
However the volume keys are going to be more complicated: the app receieves them just fine, but they are the same keys that are generated by the hardware volume buttons on the phone (Qt.Key_VolumeDown, Qt.Key_VolumeUp). The system intercepts them regardless of what the app does with them (I tried to mark them as handled in Qt), and raises/lowers the volume. I think it will be very confusing to shoot a picture AND raise/lower the volume. I guess we will have to live with the fact that some selfie sticks + hardware combinations which generate volume keypresses won't be supported, though that's going to be rather confusing for the user too.
