A collection of scripts for controlling Google Play Music on browser.
google-music-controll is a collection of scripts to control Google Play Music opened in browser.
Basically, you want to execute the scripts when certain hotkey is triggered. I use alfred, but I think you can use quicksilver or automator to execute them when hotkey is triggered.
I actually execute shell script that executes the script because none of them allows to set a path to the script to execute; rather they ask you to copy and paste the code. I don't like that.
You can execute the script from terminal like following:
$ osascript chrome/play-pause.scpt
You can simply execute the scripts on terminal. If your desktop environment supports executing a script using hotkey, then that should be able to trigger the scripts.
Before using it, you need to make sure that:
- Using Chrome.
- Google Play Music is opened in browser (doesn't matter in which tab nor window) and playing music already. The scripts don't know how to initiate to play music.
xdotool is required.
It uses AppleScript interface that chrome provides and goes through all windows and tabs to find the tab that has google play music opened. Then it executes JavaScript on the page that sends appropriate keyboard shortcuts to control it.
It uses xdotool to focus a window that Google Play Music is opened, and sends a key that triggers keyboard shortcut.
