VLC constantly resumes playing when Bluetooth is paired with my car

[eam]

I played a song in VLC, and now whenever audio starts and stops in any other app as soon as the other app's audio stops VLC starts up and begins playing the song. This seems to only happen when my phone is paired with a Bluetooth device for audio. I've tested with my car for sure and I will test more devices when I am able. This behavior does not occur if I'm using the phone speakers.

I can open VLC and stop the music, but as soon as I play any audio in any other application VLC will immediately begin playing after that other application stops the audio.

For example: If Google maps announces navigation directions, as soon as the speech ends ("turn left...") VLC will begin playing music.

Another example: If I'm doing a language lesson in Duolingo, VLC will begin playing music immediately after each spoken word.

I have force stopped VLC and this doesn't stop the music from auto playing. I've gone through the configuration settings and I can't find any way to stop this.


"Stop on application swipe" is checked.
"Resume playback after a call" is unchecked
"Resume on headset insertion" is unchecked
"Background pip mode" is stop

I should mention that I've noticed the same behavior with the Amazon music app some years ago, but I think they made some sort of fix and this no longer occurs using that app.

Is it possible there is some kind of interaction between a paired Bluetooth device (potentially only my car I can clarify this later today) and vlc deciding to start playing audio out of the blue? Perhaps the car is starting VLC? I apologize I'm not very well versed on Android internals.

What is your VLC for Android version? Could you also please tell me what is your device model and Android version?

I have force stopped VLC and this doesn't stop the music from auto playing.

So this is probably something outside VLC starting the playback.

Do you use Android Auto? If so, is "Automatically resume media" checked?
