This happened to me once before, but I didn't write down my solution so it's driving me nuts. Fedora 32 is about to come out so Fedora 30 is EOL. I upgraded to Fedora 31 on the system where I'm running Kodi. Now whenever I'm in Kodi if I press Play, Pause, or Stop I get the universal "no" symbol on the screen. (this: https://emojipedia.org/prohibited/) I'm running on Gnome with Xorg. I thought I remembered last time solving it by doing something with the Gnome shortcuts, but neither setting the shortcuts nor clearing them seemed to make it work with Kodi. If it helps, when I was pushing keys in Gnome to assign them, they came up as "Audio Play", "Audio Stop", etc. I tried the key map add-on in Kodi, but that doesn't work because when I press the button, I get the "no" symbol.

I've been trying a bunch of things nearly all day today to try and it's driving me nuts. If anyone else knows what to do, please let me know.

Thanks!

Did a bunch more research today and basically Gnome is intercepting the commands and if no application is open to receive that command, it displays the "no" sign. So if I do it with nothing open, it happens. But if I have VLC open it doesn't. So how do I get Kodi to listen for Gnome play/pause/etc symbols? BTW, I tried https://askubuntu.com/questions/990284/m...untu-17-10 and ended up accidentally deleting the entire dconf tree for media-keys.

OK, turns out there was one more place I had to edit. https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid2934854 got me there. Basically had to ALSO edit gsettings.

Specifically:

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys stop-static ['']

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys play-static ['']

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys pause-static ['']
