Usage

1. Install extension from the chrome web store.
2. Edit the Keyboard shortcuts to give Keysocket 'Global' permissions
   • Open a browser tab to chrome://extensions
   • Scroll to the bottom & click Keyboard shortcuts
   • Find Keysocket Media Keys and change each desired key to Global

API

Keysocket also provides an API that websites can use to bind their players without the need to wait for their PR to be accepted and released in the Chrome Webstore extension. Keysocket fires events for each media key, which the website can add event listeners for. Below is an example from http://www.relax-hub.com, written by the current project maintainer, Feedbee:

// Web Page Media Control API interaction (v0.4)
// https://github.com/feedbee/web-page-media-control-api-spec
// for Key Socket Media Keys Chrome extension

document.addEventListener("MediaPlayPause", function () {
  playerCollection.send("toggle");
});
document.addEventListener("MediaStop", function () {
  playerCollection.send("stop");
});
document.addEventListener("MediaPrev", function () {
  var player = playerCollection.getPrevPlayer();
  if (player) {
      player.send("play");
  }
});
document.addEventListener("MediaNext", function () {
  var player = playerCollection.getNextPlayer();
  if (player) {
      player.send("play");
  }
});
