BETA sierra partially work

[jaumard]

Hi :)

I just quickly test the beta and it work partially. I use deezer and play/pause are working great.
But next and previous partially work, the song change but it also toggle play/pause at the same time.

Playing -> (Action) next -> song go to next but paused
Paused -> (Action) next -> song go to next but played

Same for previous.

Hi, both are working for me (next/previous, playpause) with spotify
Not a really useful post, but I just wanted to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH because this was annoying me as hell !

Chiming in to say it's working on play/pause only for me as well. If development never goes past that it's fine, but another datapoint for you :)

Thanks for the feedback. 😃

It seems different hardware and/or players behave differently. I'll do some testing and try to determine if there's a generic approach that will work. If not I may just add configuration for which keys send what events.

Hey can you all retest on 10.12.2? Thanks!

Everything's working for me except pause. I downloaded the latest beta just now and am using 10.12.2

spotify version 1.0.45.186.g3b5036d6

Hi, it's because spotify now handle bluetooth natively, you don't need Bubo anymore if you're only using spotify.

[BenWaller]

Well, that's awesome. Thanks!

Neat! Only took ~4.2-ish years. 😉

Tried to verify the change and get some details, but I guess they stopped publishing release notes some time back. ☹️

Hullo, Bubo isn't working at my end, poor owl.. Any tips or solutions?

I've tried a variety of ways to get my Sony MDR 1000X's to respond to touch gestures with no luck.

Spotify Version - 1.0.53.758.gde3fc4b2
Running - macOS Sierra 10.12 (16A323)
Headphones - Sony MDR 1000X

Hi, I think you'll need 10.12.2 or later (10.12.4 is the current latest release). Try that and let me know if it's still not working.

Hi,

First of all, thanks for the good work.
I just wanted to let you know the following :

But next and previous partially work, the song change but it also toggle play/pause at the same time.

Playing -> (Action) next -> song go to next but paused
Paused -> (Action) next -> song go to next but played

is still an issue for me on 10.12.6 on a basic VLC app with a Parrot Zik 3.
Using the current beta version.

To those of you having problems with the next/prev functionality in bubo I was having a problem where I was getting duplicate next/prev commands being sent to my music player. The problem turned out to be that for each 'next/prev' event bubo was getting it was also getting a 'begin seek-foward/backward' event. If you take a look at my fork, you'll see that I've just disabled it. It's possible that this will solve your problem as well. You can download it here:
