[Solved]Media control play/pause everything in browser instead Spotify

Hi Guys,
so I think that latest Opera update screwed up one of my favourite options in my beloved browser. Media buttons. If I've got anything opened (from videos on Instagram to videos on YouTube or 9GAG) it stops/plays them instead of Spotify, that runs in the background. Even if I'm on different tab right now. It drives me crazy. I loved the ability to pause music from Spotify when pressing play on video.
Please bring back the old controls. Present options drives me crazy.

Have a nice day

@wkw17 You need to (re) enable the flag. Just go to opera://flags and search for audio focus enhancement

@leocg thank you. Tried this but didn't work. it works exactly the same. Doesn't matter that i changed from default to enable or disable. Is there anything else I can do?

@wkw17 Maybe Spotify is using Flash? Try disabling Flash in settings.

@leocg thank you.
Sounds good, question is how do I disable Flash?

@wkw17 In settings page, just search for Flash.
It's in the site settings section.

I disabled "Hardware Media Key Handling" at opera://flags. This seemed to work for me. I'm running MacOS (if this makes a difference).

@M3dicine I suppose since this is the "Opera for Mac" section, it would be convenient for me to be running MacOS, huh?
