Можно добавить поддержку горячих клавиш на любой сайт с помощью расширения "User JavaScript and CSS" и кода setTimeout(function() { document.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent("MediaControlStateChanged", { "detail": "enabled" })); }, 5000); // Web Page Media Control API interaction (v0.4) // https://github.com/feedbee/web-page-media-control-api-spec document.addEventListener("MediaPlayPause", function () { document.querySelector('').click(); });

According to the Developer's Sourceforge page, this extension does not work with Google Podcasts. That's the only reason I downloaded it. I'm deleting it.

Супер. Ютуб теперь переключается :)

Justin Porteus 2021-03-25

It worked fine until the latest update to Chrome. Since then, if it is enabled, media keys don't work for anything while Chrome is open.

Andrii Kadygrob 2021-03-24

Расширение перестало работать после обновления Chrome до версии 89.0.4389.90

Does exactly what it is intended to do !

Thank you!

Mathis Dupuy 2020-01-14

It does work very well ! One of my favorite extension, since I'm a YT and Google Music all day long consumer. It works well, but since Google Chrome added it's own solution 'Global Media Controls' there is a conflict. But Google's solution seems to not be currently able to handle next/previous buttons. You have to disable Global Media Controls in chrome://flags/

Works pretty well but I wish it wouldn't Hijack keys when no player is playing on chrome. Also is there any possibility for audible support? Would be awesome!

Salvador A.L. 2019-12-14

Sadly, it doesn't work anymore for YouTube. It used to work, though. Now, when I try to pause a video, it just pauses for a moment and starts playing right away.

When chrome add media keys feature, for no reason it block my media keys. This addon fix this. Thanks.

Jim Gomes 2019-10-10

Works great with Das Keyboard media keys. Essential for listening to Google Play Music in the background.

Tyler Hostetter 2019-10-03

Control Chrome: Play/Pause as normal Control Spotify: CTRL+Play/Pause or ALT+Play/Pause Absolutely amazing work, such a such a simple change, but huge quality of life improvement. I can now control both Chrome and Spotify with my hardware media keys. Thank you very much!!!

Hoora RM 2019-07-30

doesnt work for me on youtube !

Châu Đỗ Ngọc Thanh 2019-06-04

Good!! Suport media key of windows laptop so good!!!

Ian Bowman 2019-05-09

This is very useful and saves time when skipping songs with Tidal. I think a cool feature enhancement would be to have the page title scroll the song playing so that I know the name of a song without opening the tab, sort of like Facebook messenger on PC. Overall great app and does exactly as it suggests!

Ting! it's on, working perfectly. Tung! it's off for this tab... Also turned off perfectly fine. BEAUTIFUL job on this extension.

BaSsGaZ 2019-04-14

Same as others! Works on YouTube, not many others. I doubt the list of supported services is accurate! It didn't work for me in TuneIn

Anton Rudeshko 2019-04-13

Thanks! Helps a lot. Not great with multiple tabs, but solved it with per host permissions.

taoufik tamiss 2019-03-20

Does what is claims.

Daniel Vrána 2019-03-03

It works, but I had to stop using it because it acts on all open tabs at once..

Burak Şahin 2019-02-02

WONDERFUL

Just works plain and simple. This functionality should be built-in in a browser. Thank you author!

Pra M 2019-01-13

Thank you! <3 My new must have for Chrome. Why on earth aren't media key controls part of the standards for websites to use?! Upon a quick Google I came across an outdated fork of this. Thankfully someone suggested this! It's not perfect though. It is absolutely terrible with multiple tabs. It is *something* though.

Works for me on YouTube Music with daskeyboard media keys :)

Siddhardha T 2018-12-05

Doesn't work

Ilan Y. Kupers 2018-09-26

Apparently, Key Socket Media Keys aren't compatible with macOS Mojave (yet). Would love to see a fix, since I'm fan of this add-on and want to give 5 stars again! :)

Fantastic extension, essential for streaming music via the browser.

Bas van den Wollenberg 2018-09-07

Works great. I'd like to be able to blacklist certain sites, but it's not a huge issue.

Bernd 2018-08-18

When you hold the button for just a bit it pauses and plays very fast; or it skips more than one track (Win10 & Soundcloud) THX to the dev

Phillip Han 2018-07-20

Works as advertised. If it doesn't work for you, try closing and reopening Chrome, and it should work.
