@electrineer I was using them to keep the phone logged in and not go to lock screen.

I have decided that Android 11 is a POS OS. I have tried 2 different media players. Swiping them up does not fucking kill the app. Doing a force quit will kill the app. But pressing the button on my bluetooth headset will play the last media I played. It resurrects the media player. There is ZERO way that I can find to disable this behavior. I am seriously thinking of returning my phone due to this. I will just deal with my old phone being an old pos that doesn't do shit without me telling it to.

This might work for you https://android.stackexchange.com/q...

And this is probably interesting background info https://developer.android.com/guide...

@electrineer Hey, I found a really cool toy for Android:
https://llamalab.com/automate/
It can intercept media button presses and have it do what I want. I can program when I want this to happen based upon different conditions. Like I could see if the app is running. If it is then it could act as normal. If not running it could just intercept the media button. I think this will give me more power than I could have imagined on Android.
Program ALL THE THINGS!!! -
@Demolishun that's why people like android over the competition: you can do things with it

@electrineer I wouldn't have found it without your posting those links. It enabled me to search for other things to look for. Thank you!
The docs have instructions on how to intercept the Media Button. The docs are beautiful.
Is there an Android media player that doesn't take over headset buttons, doesn't store a history, doesn't search for media to play, and doesn't do shit when off when you accidentally hit your headset button?
Is the headset button thing just an Android 11 problem?
I use vlc for the desktop and it does exactly what I want. On Android it takes over headset buttons and plays last file even after being completely shutdown and history is disabled. I HATE apps that do shit without you telling them to. The only way to fix this in vlc is to clear its cache and history manually in its settings and then forcing it to restart the app. Another thing vlc did was have full screen controls when I swiped right when the phone was fucking locked! I cannot remember what I did to disable that, but that was not cool at all. I think that was some fucked up android 11 feature.
I tried MX Player and it has zero options for disabling history.
So I figured I would ask here. Are there any non-shitty media players for Android?
I am so close to saying fuck you android 11 and sending the damn phone back. I hate the automatic shit I have to figure out how to turn off every time I do something. Leave me the fuck alone until I tell you to do something you pos phone.
