I'm using VLC 3.0.4 on a fully patched Windows 10 pc. Sometimes I play mp3 files to my bluetooth headset using VLC. When I press the play/pause button on my bluetooth headset, nothing happens. VLC does not respond.
This headset is working fine with my Android smartphone.
How can I get VLC to respond to the play/pause button on my bluetooth headset?
If VLC can't do this, is there some other Windows 10 music player that can do this? Thanks,
Bluetooth pause/play command not working

Re: Bluetooth pause/play command not working
If you have Windows 10 version 1803 installed download KB4467682. Bluetooth issues on this version are listed as fixed by that patch. See this article for more details.
EDIT: if you don't know which version of Windows 10 you have installed hit Windows key + R to open the Run command and type: winver and hit Enter.
