Plexamp media keys not working

Plex Labs

First off, thanks for the great player! I’m using it all day everyday. One small niggle:

I’ve been seeing intermittent issues with media keys on plexamp since the 3.x release. In particular, I can’t pause/play or jump to next/previous. The media keys never worked up to 3.0.1, briefly started working in 3.0.2, but when 3.0.3 was released they stopped working again.

Is this a bug or is there some configuration that might be needed? In the earlier versions of plexamp we had to edit the config.json, but this no longer seems to have an effect.

I’m on Manjaro Linux with i3 window manager.

Thanks in advance!
Marco.

Update: This seems to be working again in 3.1.0. Fingers crossed that it doesn’t regress again!

Still not working for me on Windows 10 and PlexAmp 3.1.0

@pommesmatte Seems like I spoke to soon. It stopped working soon after I posted this update.

Same for me, they aren’t working reliable.
But I found something interesting. The first time when I hit any media key they are working. Any further key press has no effect, only the really first one.
If I unplug/replug my keyboard it works again for one single media key press.
Seems like the input listeners are just working for the first media key press but will stop, till the input device is removed/restored on the computer. (Other apps like spotify or firefox work totally fine with the same keys.)
