don't really make sense that way

I can't intercept them when the screen is off if you are not in notification mode (with the cover art and remote control on the lockscreen). They're sent as simple keypresses to the topmost activity, which is not mpdroid when the screen is off

It doesn't work with notification on either

Is there a reason why MPDroid doesn't identify itself to Android as a media player?

If I have audio playing in any other media player app (Play Music, Beyondpod, Mixcloud, etc), the volume buttons control the volume of that audio regardless of which activity is on top, and when the screen is off.

The volume buttons will not control the app audio but rather the Media Volume of your phone.

MPDroid doesn't identify as a Media Player since it has no way to know when it should stop doing so, since it's not playing local'y. But, when the notification is enabled, it does. It even takes the audio focus in order to appear on the lockscreen Le mer. 4 mars 2015 à 23:27, Dave M. notifications@github.com a écrit :
