PlayPause does not work in Monstercat for YouTube Music

[Ptiolerwud]

I'm trying to control music in the browser, the Previous and NEXT buttons work, but the PlayPause button works only if the music was not started in the browser, and after that it stops pressing((

I don't think this thread belongs to the Bugs and Feature Suggestion section of the forum, it looks like a standard Skin Help topic, so it probably should be moved accordingly. Other than that, please carry on.

It works for me. I installed the release you mentioned, I clicked the Settings skin > Media Player > WebNowPlaying, I installed the WebNowPlaying extension for the browser I'm using and checked all Adapters + Use Native API in its settings, and all works. If you did the same, it should work for you too.

I'm not sure I know how to move this topic((((

Well, I don't know what else I could suggest, since, as I mentioned, for me these things worked, for an out of the box installation of the skin.

Yeah, I wasn't asking you to do it. This is something a developer / moderator could do, when he gets the chance. Anyway, it's no rush or something mandatory, it's more about nicely having the topic in the section where it would be logical to have it, that's all.
