Here too on MacBook Pro mid 2009.
Confirming same issue after taking 1.3.1 update.
MAC: MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014)
OS: 10.12.3 (16D32)
edit: Just to add, the buttons are not being handled by Hermes at all (as if the events are not being intercepted). Instead iTunes is started when I hit play/pause buttons on my keyboard.
edit2: v1.3.0 does not have issue. v1.3.1b1 also does have the issue.
OK, probably something to do with how Apple added a documented way to do this in 10.12.2 (along with Touch Bar support) and then broke it in 10.12.3, so I ended up putting the old method back at the last minute. See if https://github.com/HermesApp/Hermes/issues/300#issuecomment-289442489 works for you? I will definitely make another release to fix this once I get a chance.
I can't use this either after upgrading. Is there a way to go backwards? I'm on 10.11.6 El Capitan
Confirmed. Unchecking "Control playback with media keys" in Hermes preferences the re-checking it fixes the issue in 1.3.1
@shaun10 , use Time machine to restore the Hermes file in the "Applications" folder from yesterday's backup. If you use Time machine that is
Uncheck and recheck works. Try it.
Confirmed: Uncheck/Recheck of media control option resets. MBPro 13" w/ touchbar; 10.12.3 (16D32)
Yep, same problem, unchecking and rechecking works like a charm.
Checkbox fix worked on my 2016 touchbar macbook pro
Me too. They work for a while, then stop working, seemingly after long pauses or idle periods? I'm on 10.13.2 (17C88).
Yeah unfortunately think this is an Apple bug. Not much we can do, maybe some day they'll provide a "real" API for background playback control on macOS like on iOS. (It looked almost like that was going to happen with the Touch Bar changes but then they undid what they did a few point releases later.)
Since unchecking and re-checking the box fixes it, can Hermes just periodically do the same thing that would happen if you uncheck and re-check the box? At least until there's a workaround. Related: is there a radar I can dupe?
Sounds reasonable, but I'm not sure how often to "do the same thing" and whether it requires that Hermes be brought to the front. I'm not aware of a Radar on this.

Yep, unfortunately it'll be hard to test. Maybe you can simulate a media key press via Apple Events and set up some kind of long-running test to see how often it breaks?
I just updated to 1.3.1 and now my keyboard controls dont work. Standard wired Mac key board. Imac running Sierra 10.12.3 (16D32)
