Huh? Okay...
So I'll try a trick... ;) I cannot test it, cause I've disabled burst mode in some Xposed module and didn't find the option to enable it again, so please report if this thing works:

I think, longpress at touchscreen at camera button should also result into a burst shooting, so here we go.
This task will emulate a minimal swipe at the camera button --> long press.
So, default long press is set to 5000ms = 5secs...
Was busying these days so didn't give it a try immediately but I did a quick testing and yes I confirm the code can do remote burst shooting. Thanks :laugh:

My SE MW600 bluetooth just won't work on long press(next/play/previous button) with tasker, either single shoot or burst shooting, all no.

Can you test the long press on your Sony SH20? If it works with long press, then I will buy one.

Sorry my bad, seems like long press won't work with bluetooth... even with my Sony headset.

Do you know any BT with more functional buttons in tasker(not just next/play/previous, only three) and you recommend? I want to buy a new one with independent rewind and fast forward button.

Hi,
Thank you for your tips using SBH20 as a camera remote control. It works great.
How can I do the same system to transform the back and forward buttons as a rewind and fast-forward buttons.
I have tried, but I have not seen a way to do a rewind and fast-forward action in Tasker.
Regards, Chris

Rewind? Do you mean audio controls? I'm using poweramp for that... There is a setting for that.
Or do you mean another thing?

I want to do rewind/fast forward with the hardward buttons of the SHB20 bluetooth headset. I am not interested to do rewind/fast forward with graphical buttons inside an application.

I have done half of the work: I can catch the hardware back/forward buttons of the SBH20 bluetooth headset with Tasker.
Now I just need to assign a rewind/fast forward action to them, how can I do that?
