Music Control is not working on latest Chrome 85

Former Member over 5 years ago

Hi,

The music control gadget stop working in latest stable chrome (85.0.4183.81).

All buttons except volume are ignored.

The last chromium build working with music control is rev.770106, and the first build which won't work is rev.770121.

The cause seems to be this commit that chromium stop supporting legacy MEDIA_BUTTON intent.

https://github.com/chromium/chromium/commit/7fed2acccd5fc6e51b75c527aed436a7852f647a

Injecting key event might be a better approach for controlling mediasession.

Hope this problem could be fixed.

Cheers

did you manage to find a way around this?

I am building a browser-based music UI (Iris) and can see the currently playing track, but like you have observed, the controls themselves do nothing. I'm keen to hear if you managed to find any kind of workaround.
