Oh. I see.

Well, I don't know whether or not it would be good (or bad) to change this behaviour in hijack.. have to think on that one a bit. But in the meanwhile (and long-term), you could just intercept both the press/release for TOP button, and then just use EMPEG_HIJACK_INJECTBUTTONS to pass them along to the player. That will work regardless of what eventually happens within the hijack core.

Cheers.
