==================

#### Try the **[Beta Version](https://github.com/jguice/mac-bt-headset-fix#beta-version)** below for Sierra (10.12.1+) :grin:

Small mac application that fixes broken bluetooth headset control by listening for headset keypress events and re-triggers them as media key presses (as if one pushed the buttons on the keyboard).

The app should work with any player/etc. that responds to media keys, but allow you to use your bluetooth headset controls instead :-).

Download the [latest stable version](https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/jguice/mac-bt-headset-fix/Spotify+Bluetooth+Headset+Listener.zip).

## Usage
Download the above file and unzip it.  Double-click to run the app (you may need to generally allow unsigned apps or authorize this one in particular).

Try connecting your bluetooth device and pressing the play/pause/etc. buttons (press and hold too).  Your media player should respond to them just as if you'd pressed the relevant keyboard media key. :)

If you're using an in-browser player you might need an extension to make the app respond to media keys (which should also make it work with your headset).  For **chrome** try [streamkeys](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/streamkeys/ekpipjofdicppbepocohdlgenahaneen?hl=en).

## What it does
On execution the application will background itself and listen for bluetooth headset events.  You'll see a **menu bar icon** that can be used to quit the app (or hide the menu icon).  **Note** *that the menu icon will remain visible for 30 seconds before hiding to allow changing the hide option or quitting, etc.*

The app will intercept common bluetooth headset key presses and re-fire them as media key presses.  Currently the following key presses are supported:

- play/pause
- next
- prev
- fast-forward
- rewind

The mapping on headsets seems to be a bit inconsistent.  If pressing next/prev doesn't work, try a press and hold. :)

On launch it will also attempt to unload the built-in Remote Control Daemon (rcd) which seems to be responsible for starting iTunes when a play event is first received.

**Note** *that this will probably cause any remote controls you use to stop working.*

If you find iTunes still loads you might try this [play-button-itunes-patch](http://github.com/thebitguru/play-button-itunes-patch).

## Quitting the Application when menu bar icon is hidden
Run this command in Terminal:

kill "$(pgrep 'Spotify Bluetooth Headset Listener')"

If you want to relaunch the app (possibly to show the icon again), run this instead:

PID="$(pgrep 'Spotify Bluetooth Headset Listener')"; \
    APP="$(dirname "$(ps -o "comm" -p "$PID" | tail -n 1)")/../../"; \
    kill $PID; \
    open "$APP"

You will have 30 seconds to disable hiding the icon if you so choose.

**Note**: *on quit the application will try to reload the Remote Control Daemon to restore whatever functionality it provides*

## Beta Version

If you're feeling lucky try the [beta version](https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/jguice/mac-bt-headset-fix-beta/bubo.app.zip).

### Changes
- renamed app to bubo[1]
- works on macOS Sierra 10.12.1+
- no longer mucks with launchctl daemons to keep iTunes from starting
- Objective-C -> Swift
- signed app (legit!)

## Origin
The original version of this app was posted on [this spotify community thread](http://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-Desktop-Linux-Mac-and/Bluetooth-headset-buttons/m-p/161796).  It controlled the spotify mac player directly via the scripting bridge (objC -> applescript).  I did not write it, but was granted permission to post it to github for sharing and encouraging enhancements.  It was published here under the [MIT License](http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) as requested by the author. :)

This current version has been completely re-written, but retains that same license.
