@icbaker I was going to post in the previous issue, but thought this is perhaps unique enough for a new issue.

Would you be able to clarify if this is a change/regression introduced in 1.4.0 (i.e. not present in 1.3.1, and maybe caused by c64dacf), or a longstanding inconsistency where we are not handling HEADSETHOOK the same way as PLAY?

[DavidEdwardsBL]

The code in question is quite old:

https://github.com/androidx/media/blame/b01c6ffcb3fca3d038476dab5d3bc9c9f2010781/libraries/session/src/main/java/androidx/media3/session/MediaButtonReceiver.java#L133

This part exists over a year, so it is not a problem introduced in 1.4.0.

The issue is here:

      if (keyEvent != null
          && keyEvent.getKeyCode() != KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_PLAY
          && keyEvent.getKeyCode() != KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE) {

Whereby KEYCODE_MEDIA_PLAY and KEYCODE_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE are detected, but not the KEYCODE_HEADSETHOOK.

Thanks for the extra info - this should be resolved by the commit linked above.
