Currently, my keyboard has a volume rocker that Windows uses to modify the overall system volume. However, I would like to rebind this to modify my Plex volume - specifically, the volume control in the Plex app (on Windows).

I’m trying to use AutoHotKey for this, but can’t seem to send events properly to Plex, or maybe Plex simply doesn’t have any support for volume control. I’m trying something like this:

Volume_Up::
ControlSend,{Volume_Up},Plex
return

I know AHK picks this up because it prevents my system from handling the event. But it doesn’t seem to actually do anything. I also tried with Media_Play_Pause (another button on my keyboard), but sending it to Plex in this way doesn’t work. (It’s worth noting that the play/pause key DOES work when I let Windows handle it, although I’d rather force it to get sent to Plex if at all possible.)

I even tried looking at the web API but I couldn’t find anything. Not that I want to go down that route - the latency would probably be horrible.
