Also hoping for updates on this :) Our app would benefit greatly from being able to use lock screen controls/media control with bluetooth devices! |

I ended up abusing expo-video to play mp3s. Turns out you don't even need expo-audio after all. Though there are some issues with some events not being fired on iOS. |

Thanks @MikeKovarik! Do you know what events don't get fired or have a link to issue? |

Here I am also eagerly awaiting this update. A workaround using expo-audio also would be great. |

Summary
This RFC proposes to move media notifications (better known as the "Now Playing" notifications) from the
expo-videopackage into a new, separate Expo module:expo-media-session.Motivation
The primary motivation is to provide a unified and generic interface for managing media notifications, which can be utilized by both the
expo-audioandexpo-videomodules. This approach aims to avoid code duplication and ensure consistency across all supported platforms (iOS, Android, and web).Currently, media notifications are only implemented for the
expo-videopackage. However,expo-audiousers should also expect to have similar functionality. Implementing and maintaining this separately in both packages would lead to code duplication and potential inconsistencies.Why
expo-media-session?The primary reason for naming the package
expo-media-session, rather thanexpo-media-notifications, is that it aligns with the browser API for managing media notifications, which is known as the Media Session API.Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
