Integrate Web Page Media Keys With Any Site

There is two ways of integration:

1. Write a plugin for given web site (service).
2. Implement generic Web Page Media Control API from the service side.

The first way is the only possible when you are not the site owner and it's impossible to ask site owner to implement Web Page Media Control API. In this case you can implement plugin (see other plugins -- files in extension directory with names started with keysocket-) and create pull request to merge your code into repository. After merge is done and extension is updated you'll enjoy the result.

The second way is the right way when you are a site owner. There is no need to write a plugin if your can just put a few lines of code into your site. Detailed description of API available in Web Page Media Control API repo. As an example of working Web Page Media Control API implementation see RelaxHub.

Usage

1. Install extension from the chrome web store.
2. Edit the Keyboard shortcuts to give the extension 'Global' permissions:
   • open a browser tab to chrome://extensions
   • scroll to the bottom & click Keyboard shortcuts
   • find Web Page Media Keys and change each desired key to Global

Contribute, Please!
