Spotify v1.0.90.268.ga8a0ceb4. Play/pause/skip track buttons on keyboard no longer working. Tried re-starting machine already. Tried re-starting app. Tried plugging/unplugging keyboard. Media keys function with other apps (Keynote, iTunes, etc). Aforementioned apps not open while using Spotify.
- I have recently updated my Mac to High Sierra and found that my play/pause, forward and back play buttons wont work for spotify. To fix the problem click on Spotify in the menu bar, then services then system preferences. Once opened go to keyboard on the left hand side and click 'Restore Defaults' in the bottom right hand corner.
- Is there anyway to assign the play, pause and the other media buttons to Spotify by default? Every time when I click the play button, it launches iTunes, is there anyway to change it?
- Use Spotify inside vscode. Provides integration with Spotify Desktop client. Note that some of the functionalities are only available on macOS systems (see How it works section).
- The 4th gen Apple TV works great with the same IR commands as previous generation Apple TVs, but the Play / Pause button doesn't seem to work. When using the bluetooth remote that came with the 4th gen Apple TV, Play / Pause works, when using an IR remote it doesn't. This is using applications HBO GO & Watch ESPN.

You mention that sometimes you have to tap the Play button more than once in order to get audio going. Does this ever happen when you are not using the AirPods Pro?
Spotify Pauses Itself
If it only happens when using the AirPods Pro, then try resetting them. The article here has a title about not being able to connect, but the reset steps in it are valid for this issue as well.
