Bluetooth headphone buttons don't work. #2

Open gvt opened 10 years ago

gvt commented 10 years ago

Firstly, thanks for making this! I've been using it several times per week for hours at a time and am loving it.

I love the support for media keys from the keyboard. Unfortunately, when I use the play/stop button on my Beats Music headphones, iTunes opens instead of BeotsMusic responding. I believe that the same would happen if I were using just plain iPhone earphones too since it probably is the same signal sent regardless of the actual headphone device that is used.

That must be troublesome! Let me investigate this. I don't own any Beats headphones unfortunately, but as you said Apple Earbuds and other ones should behave the same, as far as I know.

It's been a while, sorry for that. I've been busy wrapping up my employed work, but now it's all done, so I can finally put my time in here! After a bit of research, it seems I could use Daij-Djan's DDHidLib for the work.

Sounds good

kiding commented 10 years ago

It's finally merged and seems working. I'll roll out the next version soon.

Sweet! :8ball:

@gvt Would you mind testing this version if you have some time? If there's no bug, I'd like to tag it for distribution.

I get a 404 when I follow that link.

Oops, sorry! I guess draft releases don't share with others. Could you try this instead?

gvt commented 10 years ago

The file worked. I'll try it out soon

With my Beats Studio Wireless headphones, its not working.

kiding commented 10 years ago

Oh my, is it wireless? I thought it was wired one for the whole time! :D They use completely different service from each other, so I might need to take a look at Bluetooth related frameworks. This is gonna take some time, sorry about that!

a single click (pause) opens iTunes a double click (next) has no apparent affect a triple click (previous) has no apparent affect — Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub.

Yeah I like the wireless ones. Sorry I didn't mention it sooner.

This project might offer a solution. Unless the "experimental build for yosemite" already has this?

kiding commented 9 years ago

That sure looks interesting! Thank you for finding it.

kiding commented 9 years ago

After quite a while (sorry!) I was able to look into this issue again.

It seems the project @LouisDhauwe has put up is essentially turning off rcd (described in #3) at launch, turning it on at termination. That says, if the application quits unexpectedly or the turning-it-on part doesn't work somehow, rcd won't recover itself, iTunes won't listen to the buttons.

I hope there would be a better way to tackle this problem, maybe an exclusive access to the devices, just like Apple Mikeys? Let me investigate more, now that I finally have a BT headset.
