Great extension. The github + extension page mentions keyboard shortcuts but I can't find anything to set them or what they already are.

There was an odd bug that caused the mini player to scroll up and hide the controls for the player. I reported it on Github and it was fixed in less than a day. Great job supporting a great tool.

To all the people stuck on 'choose player menu'. SOLVED. Just go to your extension icon top right (if u hadn't pinned the extension) then right-click on the extension icon. Now go to ur YT music tab play and can use the widget. Think it is Chrome's fault.

Not working for YouTube Music. It keeps giving me the "choose platform" window and no matter how many times I click on YouTube Music it does nothing

Hey there! I've fixed this issue. The problem is that when you first install the extension, the scripts to collect information from the YTM page haven't run yet and you need to refresh the page. Now, the popup will tell you when a refresh is needed and give you a button to refresh them.

Hey there, thanks for the feedback. I definitely understand your concern - hopefully this explanation can help. Unfortunately, Chrome's messaging about permissions is quite frustrating and they give us developers very little control over it. "Read your browsing history" - This is not actually something SynQ cares about nor does anything with, but because we require the "tabs" permission to be able to sync the music tabs to the mini player, that permission technically would allow the extension the ability to see your browsing history as that falls under the "tabs" permission. As such, Chrome warns you that SynQ technically has the ability to do that if it wanted to, and there's no way for us as the developers to specify further that we don't actually need or use that capability. "Display notifications" - This is part of an optional feature of SynQ which you can disable, but again because it technically can do that, it shows as a required permission. "Read and change all your data on all websites" - This is a tough one. You're right that SynQ does not currently actually need to be able to do this. However, we've been burned before by adding new permissions as it disables the extension for every existing user, causing mass uninstalls. Since we planned to add support for additional music services, we decided to pre-empt it by requesting full access now. Note that all of this code is open source for anyone to verify, and they can build it and check that it is in fact the same as the code you see in your browser: https://github.com/SynQApp/Extension

Not working for YouTube Music. It keeps giving me the "choose platform" window and no matter how many times I click on YouTube Music it does nothing. I checked all permissions and restarted Chrome. Nothing.

Adding other music services is neat, but giving permissions to "Read and change all your data on all websites" should be a non-starter for everyone. That is crazy for a simple music plugin. I read your reply to another user below, but its honestly not sufficient. Sorry too, because the previous implementation was great.

Hey Dan, given yours and the other comment about this same issue below, I think what I might do is try to ask for permissions for a bunch of services we intend to support but do not yet have implemented (i.e. SoundCloud, YouTube (standard), SiriusFM, etc). That way we can still get the benefit of not disabling the extension every time we add support while also not asking you to give us such wide-ranging permissions. In the meantime, we have open-sourced SynQ, meaning you and anyone else can see the code that makes SynQ work and verify it does not do anything nefarious: https://github.com/SynQApp/Extension
