Hi,

when i connect my OnePlus3 (LineageOS 16 with root) to any bluetooth device i start some apps in background using tasker. This works without problems, the only problem is the audio player. It should start playing after bluetooth is connected or the player should be able to player when i press the play button on the bluetooth device. But this doesn't work every time - sometimes playback starts, sometimes i can start playback manually by pressing teh play button and something nothing occurs. then i have to unlock the phone and start playback directly in the player ui. after that i can controll the player with the bluetooth buttons. I have this problem with all my smartphone (oneplus3, xperia z2 + z3), with all my bluetooth devices (2 head phones and the bluetooth in my car hifi system) and with all android versions (stock rom 6, lineageos 14, 15 and 16).

also the player is not the problem. It occurs with the normal audio player also with podcatcher (antennapod and podcast addict).

Is this a know problem? is there anything i can do?
