You have the "Pause on application start" setting enabled and by default this is also true. This setting utilizes the blocked autoplay feature of chromium and requires document interaction to activate autoplay features. This does inherently block your shortcuts and media keys from working. Unrelated to that setting though you still need to start some sort of song for the media keys to be registered.

is there any why I can baypass the document interaction with the "Pause on application start" setting on?

Unfortunately no. Right before we released v2.0.0-rc.1 we modified the functionality to utilize autoplay blocking because it provided a better UX. The previous one would try to pause the song as quickly as possible when it played which often ended up with the song playing for 1 second

Oh okey are you planning to redo it someday or is it considered done?

My idea would be so switch to the next song and back instead of play pause, or is there a song reset function.

NovusTheory commented 11 months ago

This is likely considered a final implementation as it provides the best UX and plays nicely with YTM showing a start playback popup. The problem is playing for 1 second as you will audibly hear the song while it plays for that one second as we quickly pause it which isn't a great experience. Resetting the song isn't the issue as we can seek to the beginning.

Would it be posibile to have an option to toggle off the blue start play popup?

Linked pull request that implements a custom media service has functionality which will enable being able to start the music from a launch state
