I’ve been using my Stream deck a lot more now and was wondering has anyone create a plugin for plexamp? Google/Bing search nothing came back, but would be nice to play, pause, forward, back, loop, etc. Basic features but using the stream deck to control the play back!
Thanks
YES, 99% of the time I use my Stream Deck to control PlexAmp. No plugin is needed. Just assign hot keys inside the PlexAmp app (backward, play/stop, forward, volume, etc.). Then just use the Stream Deck hotkey feature.

Thanks Derek,
The issue now is Windows has so many shortcut keys in use saw your post was for a macOS. This is one of the benefits of native API access using an extension, plus a quality icon pack to match!
I’ll mess with the global shortcuts this week should have started there, in my head I was thinking how I use Stream Deck shortcuts I need the application window to be active for them to work, but I see Plexamp using global keys so that if Plexamp is in the background it will still work.
Play/Pause, Next, and Previous do also work when pressed on keyboards which have these multimedia keys. Even if they are not defined as global shortcuts in Plexamp.
So if the stream deck can create these keyboard events, it might be even easier.
Of course, then there is the issue of multiple apps running concurrently. Usually, the last one started is grabbing these multimedia keys for itself.
