Feature Request: Bluetooth Controls for TTS #373

Open Perdellian opened 5 years ago

Perdellian commented 5 years ago

When using TTS in situations where the on-screen controls are not available (whether physically or legally, such as when driving), it would be good to have Bluetooth controls for play/pause and seeking (preferably by sentence rather than page).

Currently using: 8.0.38-fdroid

(And thanks for creating what so far appears to be a high-quality F/OSS e-reader, a welcome find after FBReader closed its source a few years back)

For an example, the TTS+ plugin for FBReader<3.0 looks to still be F/OSS (albeit unmaintained), unlike FBReader itself.

I appears to work with the the media control watchapp on my Pebble. I don't recall whether it works with my car's bluetooth controls since I've been using the built-in TTS integration of FBReader's paid version for roughly same amount of time that I've had a car with built-in Bluetooth.

When I press pause on my bluetooth headphones instead of stopping a new quick bookmark is placed. I'd prefer pausing the TTS too.

What I've seen here is that you have to turn on bluetooth and then turn on TTS is Librera; when I do that, play and pause at least work fine. Try completely exiting Librera before bluetooth, too, see if that helps. It definitely works for me.
