Pause / Play Not working broken

Solved!

Pause / Play Not working broken

Within the last few days my pause/play buttons have stopped working.  

 

I used to be able to ues the media buttons on my Logitech Keybard as well as my Logitech Headset (which is wireless bluetooth).  These include pause/play, stop, volume, and Next / Previous song buttons.

 

Today they are not working at all.  As of at least Weds last week they were.  I tried reinstalling spotify and rebooted multiple times.

 

Has anything changd that would cause this?  Or is there something in my Windows 7 64-bit environment that happened, that would unassociated Spotify to these hotkeys?

 

Thanks!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU. Cannot believe it was THAT simple. 

DOes not work for me 😞

What worked for me was closing iTunes, hope this helps someone else.

I also had this issue.  Spotify would not work with media buttons on my Logitech G910 even if the window of spotify app was selected.  Turns out if wasnt Google Chrome but Itunes.   Apparently itunes grabs the buttons even if you are in the spotify app.    Closing itunes fixed this.   

 

I thought it was 2018, this is nonsense, grabbing media keys and only letting it work for one app, even if it is not the current window.  Apple and Google devs should know better.

Deleting the Google Play Music extension (if installed ofcourse) worked for me.

Thanks!
