Global keyboard bindings to control your Chrome-based music player.

UPDATE: Now works for all versions of Chrome

Supported sites:

  • Google Music
  • Grooveshark
  • thesixtyone
  • Amazon music player
  • Pandora
  • vk.com (Vkontakte)
  • Youtube.com
  • Slacker
  • Яндекс.Музыка (Yandex.Music)
  • Tracksflow.com
  • Jango.com
  • Spotify
  • Deezer

Usage

  1. Install extension from the chrome web store.
  2. Install the KeySocket server.
    • Mac
      Install Key Socket.app.

    • Windows
      Download and run KeySocket.windows.msi.

    • Linux
      Download and run KeySocket.linux.py. Note that gnome-settings-daemon must be running for KeySocket to work. It is installed by default on Gnome- and Unity-based systems, but may need to be installed and started separately on systems using other deskstop environments (KDE, XFCE, etc.). The script also depends on Autobahn, PyGTK and dbus-python.

    • Linux Alternate Download and run keyserver.bz2.

      Note that this has no gui and requires that you know something of how X maps media keys.
