Is anyone using play/pause/stop events in Kodi dsplayer to trigger events? In my case via home assistant connecting to Kodi web sockets.

I've noticed that when using the dsplayer version only sometimes will it report the playback status, example if you pause a movie then play it it will report these events, try a second time and no pause/play event is passed on, try a 3rd time and it might work, it seems very random as to when it will or will not work.

I've noticed pressing stop or letting a video play until the end is always published fine.

For a test I installed the stock version of Kodi and all events are updated as expected. I thought since an external player is being used it might not work at all, but not sure why the randomness of it?

I set it up so long ago, that I forget exactly what the heck I did.. I probably have the tutorial saved somewhere..  But I use the Kodi Callbacks addon to adjust my lighting based on play/pause/resume/stop and it works pretty flawlessly in dsplayer..  I've been meaning to see if there's a newer, better way of doing it these days, since this is something I set up a few years ago..

I wanted to try out Kodi V18, so I set it up with external player and madvr, but lost the lighting function that I'm used to, so I ended up going back to Dsplayer..  Add me to the list of those praying that it gets updated...
