Hi,

Could somebody please give me a hint, how to assign buttons of my bluetooth remote to actions.

This is the remote:
https://skinflint.co.uk/ednet-blueto...-a1120330.html

Vol +/- works.

When I watch with the events with dbus-monitor, only the working actions are showing up. On pressing other buttons nothing shows up.

Most important thing would be to play/pause and next song.

Thanks a lot.
