I’ve been using Plexamp over the last few years on several phones and been loving it, it’s a really nice experience 
However, as of late, it doesn’t seem the media controls from bluetooth devices are working correctly… I’ve tried it on 4 different bluetooth headphones:
- Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds Gen2 → Pause works reliably, but play doesn’t work for about 5 seconds after pausing. That is in Plexamp, in the Plex app itself it doesn’t start playback at all anymore when I use the earbuds’ physical / touch controls
- Anker soundcore AeroClip → Pause works reliably, play doesn’t work at all in Plexamp (or Plex)
- Nothing Ear (Open) → Pause works reliably, play works when I try it a 2nd time (as in, the first one doesn’t get registered) (Same behavior in Plex)
- SONY WH-1000XM6 → Pause works reliably, play works after the 2nd time as well (Same behavior in Plex)
I’m running a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra with One UI 8.0 / Android 16.0. Plexamp version 4.12.4
I’ve also had a glance at the logs and I couldn’t spot anything out of the ordinary (as in, something like a “Received ‘play’ command, failed to execute” or similar). I’ve attached them though just in case there is some helpful insight in there.
Another thing I’ve noticed that in some of the respective apps for the earbuds / headphones they also have media controls and those behave in a similar way where pausing works fine, but trying to hit play has the issues as described above.
