Since 4.8 update, can no longer control PlexAmp desktop with media keys

Server Version#: 1.32.5.7328 (Synology)
Player Version#: 4.8.0 (flatpak)
OS: manjaro
DE: xfce

Like the title says.

Terminal output says:
Couldn’t install shortcut for MediaPlayPause.
Couldn’t install shortcut for MediaPreviousTrack.
Couldn’t install shortcut for MediaNextTrack.
Couldn’t install shortcut for MediaStop.

It’s not the end of the world since I can control it from my phone if I have something else fullscreen for example (which is usually the case when I’m listening to music at computer). I also tested if setting custom shortcuts would work before posting here - and it does, so that’s a backup option as well. But still, media keys are by far the most convenient for me.

This is a known issue, it’s fixed in 4.8.1 (coming soon). Apologies for the inconvenience!

And it’s out! (When I said coming soon, I meant coming soon)

The Flatpak release will be a few hours away still, but should update automatically.

Hurray! Honestly, your turn-around time with updates and fixes is impressive.

as an aside, for my own future reference - is there somewhere I should have seen that this was a known issue? Obviously I did a bit of searching before posting, but I couldn’t find anything.

Thank you! We try :slightly_smiling_face:

No, I use Plexamp on Linux daily and was tracking the issue internally when I first noticed it.

Is there any chance we’ll ever see a version for Android TV that allows you to have the visualisations feature?

Great app on mobile and would love the same features on my shield plus OLED TV.

Thanks.
