n7Player doesn't play ball #23

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Just wanted to report that n7Player always seems to grab the key presses, 
before MBR gets a chance to redirect them.

I have therefore switched from n7Player to PlayerPro.

PlayerPro (music player) and Dog Catcher (podcast player) work very well 
together.

I am using Android 2.3.7 (Kernel 2.6.35.14) on HTC HD2 (Hyperdroid ROM).

Thanks for letting me know. On android 2.3, if an app doesn't work like 
n7Player, there really isn't anything that I can do. It's likely that n7Player 
has its priority for the key presses registered to the max (same as MBR). 
Winamp used to do the same thing (it may still). When this happens, there's no 
real way to get around one app always winning out since I have no other 
mechanism to register MBR to get key presses before anyone else except 
priority. With ICS, the way apps register to handle media key presses is 
different so that MBR should always work.

Understood, thanks.

Would you have any objections if I were to post your feedback to the
n7player forum, in the hope that they might consider lowering their
priority?
