Howler.js Pro - Enable / disable Media Session

Hi

It seems the Howler.js Pro is missing a tick box for enabling or disabling Media Session on native devices. A small feature and needed when having several players, some fore background sound and other for main app sound.

Will you be able to add this?

Hello @siticum ,
Thank you for contacting us.

We have passed this information to the development department, they will check and as soon as we get a response from them, we will definitely get back to you.

Thank you for your understanding!

Hello @siticum ,
Thank you for your patience.

Our development team has come to the conclusion that, unfortunately, both the current and new versions of the audio playback library - Howler.js lack the ability to enable or disable Media Session on native devices.

We realize that this feature is very important, especially when managing multiple players for different audio purposes in an app. If such a feature appears in Howler.Js itself, we will be sure to add your suggestion to the Plugin Ideas section so that our developers can consider the idea.

Thank you for understanding.

Cheers!

Cool. Thanks for this Anton.

:sweat_smile: there are 3x maybes in there though. Will keep my expectations at a minimum.

Thanks for researching.

I have added this to feature list on howlerjs.com - fingers crossed!

Hello @siticum ,

Thank you for submitting your function to the howler.js developers for consideration. I hope they will check and add the function you are talking about soon.
This will also help us in achieving our common goals.

Thanks for your cooperation!
Cheers.
