Yes, that pause on call feature is pretty cool. If you have the plasma-integration for your browser [1] installed it can even pause your Amazon Prime Video (or Youtube, ...). Assuming you are watching a video on the Amazon website and your phone rings, the video pauses automatically. As soon as the call is over, the video resumes automatically :D Sadly Spotify does something to not let the browser detect how to control the player :-/ (it works on many websites, just not on spotify.com) [1]: Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/plasma-integration/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/plasma-integr...

You probably just need to hook into dbus. Do you know if it produces a media key? You can just add this script: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/spotify#D-Bus https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/spotify#D-Bus

  The parent was talking about the website, spotify.com, not the desktop application.

Regarding Spotify : I use its desktop client (an electron-like app, but using their own implementation of a browser, if I got this right), and it does properly work with Connect, as it implements the standard media player controls on desktop. I have an android wear, this allows me to play/pause, next/previous track volume up/down spotify running on my desktop from my wrist, this is super cool (although to be fair, you can also do that with the spotify app on mobile, used to control spotify on desktop). https://www.spotify.com/fr/download/linux/ https://www.spotify.com/fr/download/linux/

  Unfortunately you can't install tracking protection for their desktop app, so you'll have to mess with a Pi-Hole or modifying your hosts file or something...
