[Feature]: Support play/pause button shortcut from bluetooth earpods

Open AndnixSH opened this issue 4 months ago • 2 comments

Feature Description

Stremio does not react to play/pause button shortcut from bluetooth earpods or from keyboard. I would like Stremio to support play/pause button shortcut for my Airpods 4. The Windows support it natively, it works on Chrome and VLC media player.

Proposed Solution

If you don't have bluetooth earpods or headphones with play/pause to test, you can just implement the play/pause support for the keyboard, it should support for bluetooth earpods/headphones too

Additional Context or Screenshots

Hey! Opened PR #1025 adding support for the MediaPlayPause / MediaPlay / MediaPause keyboard codes in the player, so play/pause buttons on Bluetooth earbuds and media keyboards behave like the spacebar. Let me know if we should handle any other media keys.
