Media3 play next / play previous

Thanks for your question.

That sounds not right to me actually. The intention of the library is to eventually route all these commands to the player.

So I don't think you need/should override onMediaButtonEvent. Instead, the default implementation will dispatch the key event to Player.seekToNext or Player.seekToPrevious respectively. The forwarding player isn't bypassed and that's where you should await commands for interception.

There is a test case that asserts this behaviour for KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_NEXT and KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_PREVIOUS.

If everything works as intended (and the unit test above suggests this works), then you just have to override ForwardingPlayer.seekToNext() and ForwardingPlayer.seekToPrevious() where all the commands arrive and you can act accordingly.
