#Android developer question:We have a very strange bug where playing audio in Podverse does not pause audio/video from external apps like YouTube.What is super weird though is our #fdroid build pauses YT correctly.There shouldn't be a meaningful difference between our player in Google Play vs FDroid...Has anyone run into something like this before? Is there possibly a Google Play specific setting we need to set?

@podverse do both versions run the same API? (eg. is the FDroid version sandboxed)

@joeri the only differences I’m aware of is we remove any libraries that aren’t 100% FOSS for F-Droid. This is mostly App Center and Google payment processing…Aside from a different app ID (com.podverse vs com.podverse.fdroid) I don’t think there should be a difference to the player.iOS has category settings that can affect whether audio gets mixed together or pauses other audio. I haven’t found settings like that for Android though…

@podverse hmm, could it be a permission based difference?

@joeri it seems plausible...Someone linked me to this documentation and it sounds more directly related. We're using an audio library so I don't actually know how it is handling audio focus. There are quite a few differences between how it is handled across Android versions too. Hopefully this points us in the right direction. Thanks for your help!https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media-apps/audio-focus

@joeri hmm I don't know for sure but this seems like a promising explanation: https://github.com/doublesymmetry/KotlinAudio/issues/65

@podverse is it possible I've seen this on iOS perhaps when playing a video in Podverse and it doesn't give me controls or react properly to pause signals from my airpods. I probably need to figure out how to recreate and explain better.

@brianoflondon I think that sounds like a different known issue, which is the video library we are using doesn’t support Bluetooth controls yet.
