The player controls don't hide when using external controls

[Poomex]

Version

0.19.2

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Play video with a bluetooth speaker connected
2. Press "pause" on the bluetooth speaker
3. Press "play" on the bluetooth speaker
4. The video starts playing again

Expected behavior

The player controls should hide after a few seconds

Actual behaviour

The player controls remain on screen and disappear only when it is tapped. This means that the play/pause controls on the bluetooth speaker become useless.

I can reproduce with my remote & Android TV

I can confirm that on v0.19.3.
Tested on an Android TV Box and Phone.

Same issue, when used media keys the screen controls stay on screen till send cursor 'click', also pressing on play icon on screen controls, they don't hide.

How to reproduce

• With any keyboard with media keys or Air Mouse connect thought USB OTG or device standard USB (USB Type-A).

• Press 'pause key' to pause and resume.

Please test the apk provided in #3537

[Generator]

Done a quick test of #3537.
Pressing 'Play' icon now hides screen controls.
Pressing 'pause/resume' key on the remote, controls don't hide.

[Stypox]

Pressing 'pause/resume' key on the remote, controls don't hide.

I don't understand if this is considered bad behaviour or not ;-)

On my remote play / pause / next / previous buttons are used for background player, then it's really useful until #3515 is fixed.

0.20 - same with Mi Band 2: play controls doesn't disappear after resume until I tap on the Play button

0.20.1 on Xiaomi Mi A1: I can reproduce this with a wired headset (3.5 mm audio jack) that features a pause/play button. May be related: Newpipe doesn't resume playing after replugging the headset unlike AntennaPod which resume instantaneously.

Unfortunately still not fixed as of 0.21.15
