Why did this stop working? Can you fix it?

Rocket Player no longer supports playing audio when headphones are plugged in on Oreo. :-(
Rocket Player relied on a tiny headset service that listened for the headphone plug in event. In Oreo, we'd have to have a permanent notification in your notification bar just to detect when headphones are plugged in. I filed an issue with Google so that they could simply wake our app up when headphones are plugged in.

Google declines to fix this. Feel free to star this issue and in a nice way let Google know you want this feature back.

As an update for everyone, I'm working on a "fix" for this. It'll require a constant notification on your phone, but that is apparently what Google wants.

To those interested, version 5.1 of Rocket Player brings this support back. For it to work, the Rocket Player notification must be showing. If you close the notification, or if the system does, then headset plug-ins won't be detected.

I'm hoping to have Rocket Player 5.1 out of beta in about a month.

Thanks for working to get this back. I noticed that this feature still works on Media Monkey. Perhaps you could coordinate with them on how they kept it going?

It is very likely that Media Monkey kept this working by not declaring support for Android 8.0. However, starting in November they will have to for any updates.

Just wondering if there is any update on this issue? Like a fix as opposed to a workaround? I'd rather not leave the player notification active all the time.

I'd love to make things work like they used to, but we need Google to fix this issue.
If you have some pull with Google and could get them to fix this, I'd certainly get it working like it used to again.
