Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/86

It's not clear what media control suppose to do, I have activated it in macos building the application with the media-control feature flag and adding enable_media_control set to true in the app.toml file inside .config.

It's not making anything... What is supposed to do?

By the way, excellent work, the best spotify tui I could find (I have tried a lot).

Thanks for the kind words 💪

It allows you to control the playback (next, prev, play, pause) using the media keys or macos's media control panel without interacting directly with the spotify-player. It should also work with bluetooth headphone/earphone's media controls.

To confirm that the media control actually works with spotify-player, you can check the macos's media control panel (it should show the track spotify-player is currently playing):

For some reason it's not working. Should I restart my iterm2?
By the way, how I build the application passing multiple --features?

Not sure if iterm2 is the problem here. Can you send me the latest application log (should be inside .cache/spotify-player)?

By the way, how I build the application passing multiple --features?

You can do it by passing --features multiple times. For example, to install/build app with image and lyric_finder features enabled.

cargo [install|build] --features image --features lyric_finder

I understand...

Now it's working, my mistake. I put it inside the device section.

Thanks for the help.

Great to hear that. I'll close this issue for now.
