Media control keys (play/pause, next, previous) no longer seem to work after I updated from 19.10 to 20.04. Tested with both spotify and gsconnect controlling music playing on my phone. None seem to work, even after manually binding the keys in the keyboard shortcuts tab of the settings.
Any ideas how to fix this?
As requested in the comments, here is the output from xev
when pressing the play/pause key:
FocusOut event, serial 39, synthetic NO, window 0x5400001,
mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor
FocusIn event, serial 39, synthetic NO, window 0x5400001,
mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor
KeymapNotify event, serial 39, synthetic NO, window 0x0,

xev
utility via a terminal window. This shows keyboard/mouse events. First thing I would do is check if this is seeing any events when you press your media control keys. If it does show events then I would update your question above with the output of xev when you press one of the media keys.gnome-control-settings
daemon may be capturing the keys, as underxev
the output seems to vary for me (but defaults to the synthetic null output), but some of the media keys display changes in the gnome app
