• I'm ready to work on this issue! (i would really like to help but im not familiar with dart )

same here on manjaro with spotube flatpak 3.7.1.
It seems that MPRIS is broken or not working.

So media keys do not work, neither do external devices (bluetooth, usb , headsets etc...)

For example I often use playerctl to see what devices are up, but with spotube 3.7.1 I get this :

> playerctl -l
No players found

Same issue in Nobara (based on Fedora).

Thanks for a great app!
