Hello,

It may come from chromium, but it looks like Opera steals the media keys hook and don't release it until closed.

For reference: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Linux/Media-Keys-Don-t-Work/m-p/4828158/highlight/true#M19062

I confirm the same behaviour. Opera, after playing a video on facebook inhibited the media keys for Spotify.
Closing/reopening Opera fixed it. Even by playing a youtube video, Spotify keep its hook to the media keys. I don't know if it is easily reproducible, though.

Any confirmation ?

@mmichel As already mentioned in other similar topics, try disabling the following Chromium flag:
