Bluetooth media controls stopped working

Server Version#: 1.21.3.4021
Player Version#: 8.13.1.23036

I used to be able to use the play/pause/skip features on my bluetooth headset with plex. In the latest app this stopped working. Tried on 2 phones with 3 headphones/earbuds. Other media players work with these controls. Anyone else seeing this?

I just hit this again in the past several days on my Android 11 Motorola phone, don’t know if it happened after a Plex app update or not, but I got it corrected by uninstalling and reinstalling the app, and it immediately resumed working.

This has happened before, not sure what the root cause is.

Good luck, hope it works for you as well.

It seemed to work at least for a short time – though it didn’t seem consistent – after an app update that came out a while after my post. I hadn’t been using plex at all lately but just checked and it seems to be working ok currently.

Thanks for the reply - I definitely will try reinstalling if it happens again.
