Is this the same as #5177 ?

Possible. Let's see after #5177 is fixed.

5177 was fixed and the fix should be in Nightly. This can be retested now.

Still no media notification from spotify.com on the latest Nightly 10/8 build.

Thanks! I'll continue debugging this.

Okay, how do I actually play something on spotify in the browser? On desktop I can go to open.spotify.com - but that doesn't seem to work when using a mobile browser?

@pocmo I just logged in, picked a playlist from the homepage and tapped a song. You don't have the shuffle play option like on desktop though.

@vesta0 this appears to be included in the 2.2 milestone but it's not done yet.

Reproducible on RC 2.3.0-rc.2 build on Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 (Android 5.1) - x86-64 architecture.

Just retested this. I'm not seeing any notification displayed for Spotify. (Neither in the toolbar or on the homescreen)
STR:

Go to open.spotify.com.
Ignore their "Open in Spotify" buttons and just click one of the albums to play a song

I reproduced this issue playing videos from bbc.com, cnn.com, vimeo.com, on the latest Beta 80.0.0-beta.4 build, with Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 (Android 9), and OnePlus A3 (Android 6.0.1).

Not reproducible on the latest Nightly build from 8/7.

There will be a new MediaControl/MediaSession API in GeckoView soon. Android Components will switch to that and that should hopefully resolve a lot of issues. In the meantime we probably won't do any changes to the existing code anymore since that will probably all go away.

FYI I happened to notice 1623715 landed so this should be unblocked. (Note: I'm not making any claims as to priority here)
