Description
⚬ PROBLEM: Inability to use media keys
⚬ SOLUTION: Implement MediaSession.setActionHandler API for nexttrack and previoustrack, especially on playlists. This will allow for the skip and previous media keys to be used on YouTube
⚬ RELEVANCE / SCOPE: All YouTube users
⚬ "SIDE EFFECTS": None?
⚬ "CODE EXAMPLE":
navigator.mediaSession.setActionHandler('previoustrack', function() {
//Code here for previous track
});
navigator.mediaSession.setActionHandler('nexttrack', function() {
//Code here for next track
});
