Plexamp 1.0.3 Linux problems

Plex Labs

Hello, I noticed a few problems with the latest version of Plexamp on Linux with GNOME.

  • The new volume controls (Ctrl + Alt + up/down) conflicts with GNOME’s default hotkeys to switch workspaces and I can no longer switch workspaces with Plexamp open.
  • Plexamp no longer shows up in the alt-tab menu.
  • I can’t move move the Plexamp window by dragging it

You can edit the config.json file to change the keybindings for volume:

"ui": {
    "keys": {
      "volumeup": "CommandOrControl+Option+Up",
      "volumedown": "CommandOrControl+Option+Up",
...

As for the dragging, we’ve reproduced the issue and will push a fix tonight. Probably the same issue as the alt-tab.

My guess around the application not showing up in the alt-tab menu is the “splash” type to fix the issue that I had opened.

I am unsure if this is a bug with Electron or Gnome’s alt-tab feature, but there might be a fix somewhere in the Electron documentation so that dialog-style windows are exposed to be alt-tabbed.

Fixed (by reverting) in 1.0.4. Definitely the splash type :cry:
