Don’t you think that logs are here specially when things are not working???

Without logs what do you want me to tell There’s maybe an issue, maybe not, maybe a setting changed, maybe not. All I can do.

Well i ment that the logs might not be usefull if you cant see me trying to turn up or down the volume.
The first time i tried to make a log i activated debug mode, and tried to turn the volume up and down before i ended debug mode, and it did not make a log, so i guess that yatse dident see it. The log i made here i enabled debug mode, then i tried to turn the volume up and down using the buttons.
I then did turn the volume up and down in the app befor i ended the log to make it registre.

From the logs Yatse is always running from so the screenshot showing the global device volume is irrelevant

To control volume outside Yatse you need both options show notification and use lockscreen. It does not seems that you have them enabled.

Inside the application it seems that you have enable the option No volume keys that disabled the volume keys in Advanced Settings/Advanced.

You where right about the last one and i disabled that one, mostly i use them from outside Yatse and when in the app i just use the ones inside.
But it seems like i got the other 2 enabled, and like i wrote it just happed sometime and used to work.

Just to be clear, these are the ones you ment, and they had to be enabled like they are?

Yes but if you are inside Yatse and have disabled the key it’s normal they don’t work.

If you have issue outside Yatse then I need proper logs showing usage of the buttons with Yatse minimized and the notification showing.

Kiggerbare · February 25, 2019, 1:42pm

Ahh sure, let me just make those.

Kiggerbare · February 25, 2019, 1:51pm

There you go, if you can see all my actions in the log i put in a “start”, i pause/play then minimize, try to change the volume, and end the debug after.

EDIT: Forgot the notification, here you go.

Logs shows no issue looks like something is getting the focus or intercept things.

If you screen off does the buttons works? If you then screen on is Yatse showing the current media background / image ?

Kiggerbare · February 25, 2019, 6:13pm

Nope, the buttons do not work, with screen off, at the lockscreen, nor with just the screen on.
Everything else with Yatse is working as expected.

I’m almost done doing a factory reset of the phone, i’ll get back to you if it’s working after.

Kiggerbare · February 25, 2019, 7:15pm

Okay it’s working now and we can close this topic for now.
Want me to do another log to see if anything changed or?

Tolriq · February 25, 2019, 7:32pm

Just to be sure that I see what I’m supposed to see yes it would be nice Thanks.

Kiggerbare · February 25, 2019, 8:42pm

Here you go.

Are you sure you do not install some other application that could override the keys or request audio focus?

Kiggerbare · February 27, 2019, 8:15am

Well i cant be sure, but i’ve been over what i got installed, and if i do i got no idea what it would be.
Also like you see on the screenshot is it the “normal” media it controls and not another app.
To add to that i installed Yatse as the last app, and it was working, and the day after it was not working anymore, and haven’t installed anything new since then.

Tolriq · February 27, 2019, 8:38am

Does it work after a phone reboot?

Do you start Yatse before or after the media start?

Will need more details if you can reproduce else there’s not a lot I can do from the logs all is OK

Kiggerbare · February 27, 2019, 8:50am

I can see if it works after a reboot when i get home from work.

Yatse is running before the media starts since i use WOL to start my HTPC.

I see if i can find out how to reproduce it (or fix it rather), since it seems like it reproduce by itself if i just give it time.

Kiggerbare · February 28, 2019, 4:38pm

No still the same, after reboot and after a shutdown it still controls the media.
