Play/Pause Non Functional from Bluetooth Devices

[lancer92oc]

The play/pause button on my Bluetooth devices fails to start/stop the music on Android. Spotify version 8.4.21.508 armV7. Galaxy Note 8 phone running Android 7.1.1.

This issue occurs across multiple Bluetooth devices of different manufacturers. I've uninstalled the Spotify app and deleted all data/cache, without a permanent solution. I've uninstalled all other music players to prevent the media button event from being incorrectly routed. If I force close the Spotify app, the media button works for less than one hour before becoming non functional again. Please assist. Is this a known bug?
