I'm also encountering this after upgrading from Cider 1.5.1-beta.417 to Cider 1.5.3, implying that media keys on Windows broke somewhere in between those two builds.

No changes have been made to any code related to this functionality. More time will be needed to look into this more.

Issue still exists in Beta 77

There may be another application using your media keys. Try starting the app standalone with no chromium applications running (Discord, Brave, Chrome, Teams etc.), or any applications that play media.

interesting that chromium running at the same time as cider triggered this on debian 11. Literally never had this issue with any other apps (including running discord and chromium and playing audio via chromium for example...)

Seeing this issue on Windows 10 - very annoying. Any news on how to solve?

My issue turned out to caused by Microsoft Teams and not Cider.

For anyone who is still receiving this issue:

Make sure you do not have any other application running that may capture your media keys. This can be anything that can play media (Chrome, Discord, Steam, etc.). Any applications that can play videos or audio may be capturing the media key instance, preventing them from controlling Cider.
