Captures media keys even when no usable tab for it: prevents native app from using them

[tdd]

Hey guys,

So this ext is the bomb, thank you so much. Being able to control my Grooveshark instantly from anywhere (Pause/Play mostly) is awesome.

OTOH, I cringe at the flip side of this: apparently you guys capture these keys even when you can't use them. If I don't have any supported webapp opened in Chrome, for instance, they still get sucked by your ext apparently, because iTunes can't seem to use them anymore.

My using iTunes manually (play, pause, etc.) doesn't grab the keys back. I have to close Chrome entirely for this.

I'm on OSX Mavericks with Chrome 39 dev, if that helps.

Any ideas?

Best,

We used to handle this when we had our own NPAPI plugin, but after Chrome phased that out we rely on their implementation of media keys. There's a bug for this here: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=396991

Short answer, until that bug is fixed there's nothing we can do, which makes me a sad guy as well

👍 I came here to report the same problem. Pretty sad how Chromium absorbs most stuff into its security model and then just trashes it.

👍 Hopefully, chrome will resolve this soon

Just checking, you guys have all cast your votes on the chromium bug right? :-)

[tdd]

Sure :-)
