For my case, with Bose QC35 bluetooth headphones, skip forward and backward worked with no configuration, but play/pause didn't at all.
The workaround I found was to use xbindkeys with the help of xbindkeys- config to set the following: "xdotool key XF86AudioPlay" c:208 in my ~/.xbindkeysrc. This is strange, as pretty much everything else sees the button as XF86AudioPlay, but it wasn't being seen as a media key by the player. But it works now. -- 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: Bluetooth headset play/pause key not fully effective in various media players To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/1397142/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
