957508 - [Video] Support bluetooth AVRCP 1.0 + 1.3

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Video, defect)

Description

[Dominic Kuo [:dkuo]]

Bug 951025 is requesting the features of fast forward/rewind in video app, this reminds me we should also support bluetooth AVRCP in video app.

I am not sure if bluetooth AVRCP in video app should be landed together with fast forward/rewind, let's have Sri comment on this first, thanks.

John(or anyone who is going to take this): when you are going to implement AVRCP in video app, you might want to see bug 897882 first, which is bug that AVRCP was enabled in music app. There is a shared module introduced - remote_controls.js that will help you to implement the remote controls.

This will not be done in the 1.4 time frame.
But I will add it to the backlog...

I will first do some tests about the media-button system messages in video app, to see if the AVRCP commands can function in the video app and not to conflict with the music app.

Okay, after I tested the |media-button| system messages in video app, it's expected that when video and music apps are both running, the |media-button| system messages will be dispatched to them, which means for now, if we enable the AVRCP supporting for video app without any gecko changes, when the AVRCP commands are sent from the bluetooth device, video and music apps will receive the same commands then do the same interactions, it's wrong for sure because only one media app should interact with the AVRCP commands at once, so if we want to implement this feature, then we need to fix in the gecko side first, and probably with the ux spec to define the interactions for the AVRCP between video and music apps.

Removing myself from the assignee since I have done the investigation.

Is this a blocker or not blocker. cafbot changes status several times.

Hi Shawn, thanks for pointing it out.  This is a bug with cafbot which we'll try to fix right away.  I don't think this bug should be blocking.
