try to use the native controls

[8layer8]

if ('mediaSession' in navigator) {
navigator.mediaSession.setActionHandler('play', () => player.play());
navigator.mediaSession.setActionHandler('pause', () => player.pause());
navigator.mediaSession.setActionHandler('nexttrack', () => next());
navigator.mediaSession.setActionHandler('previoustrack', () => prev());
}

the chromium browser is sandboxed, I don't expect this to work consistently, if at all.

this was wired up, does not work.
