Ensemble does not react to headphone play/pause nor next/previous input #91

Using ensemble 3.04-beta .apk from github, I am unable to use my bluetooth headphone's controls as expected.

Current behavior:

  • Play/pause input is not reacted to by Ensemble
  • Next and previous are not reacted to by Ensemble

This has been verified with 3 different sets of headphones. All of them work as expected to control VLC, browser streaming, Pipepipe app, etc. Ensemble does react to play/pause, next/previous issued via Music Assistant UI as expected. Possibly related: the Ensemble media player tile in the Android notification tray also appears to be unresponsive to play/pause commands.

I get the same behavior on my daily driver Pixel 9 Pro XL running GrapheneOS ( 20260421 build ), and an older OnePlus 6 running LineageOS (Android 14 based IIRC).

Desired behavior:

  • If Ensemble was the last playing app in Android, a "play/pause" toggle should resume playback
  • Play/pause toggle
  • Next should move through the queue, unless last item in queue of course. Same for previous but in reverse.

Searched for similar issue, and did find a somewhat similar-ish one. That issue was closed one after previous reporter failed to provide needed documentation. I cannot reopen the other one, so starting new.
