InfiniTime informs the companion app that one of those buttons were pressed, then it's up to the companion app to send that information to other apps. Gadgetbridge uses standard media key events, apps that respect that will function.

It seems that VLC does not respond to those events and there's nothing InfiniTime can do and there's little GadgetBridge could do. This issue should be reported mostly to VLC.
