Product:macOS + SDK Product Version:macOS High Sierra 10.13 Beta (17A352a)
Classification:UI/Usability Reproducible:
 
Area:
Something not on this list

Summary:
MediaRemote isn't functioning properly because it keeps thinking that QuickLookUIService is generating audio or something of the sort and giving it priority over other apps. As such, it's "controlling" QuickLookUIService whenever the media keys are pressed instead of the real audio/video application (iTunes, Safari, etc.).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Not sure. Most of the time it's broken, though.

Expected Results:
The media keys control playback of the last used application.

Observed Results:
The media keys "control" QuickLookUIService.

Version:
macOS High Sierra 10.13 Beta (17A352a)

Notes:
Workaround:
launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.quicklook.ui.helper.plist && killall QuickLookUIService && launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.quicklook.ui.helper.plist

Configuration:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) running macOS High Sierra 10.13 Beta (17A352a)
