KDE Browser Integration not working

I've been trying to find info about this topic without success. The issue is the following: I am trying to use the play/pause next/previous media keys to control youtube music in the background. The keys are working in apps like VLC. The issue is with chrome. Does anyone know how can I debug this? Or how to proceed to fix this problem? Thanks in advance.

Yeah this is going to depend on the application and browsers aren't known for being very customizable unfortunately. It might be possible to pause a stream using some pulseaudio command (or possibly an alsa one but that seems less likely) so you could get around the limitations of the application, but I'm not sure.

I believe web browsers (at least based on Chromium) send information about played media to your system through dbus mpris (or something dbus related) and in the "modern" sound applets you can see the entry for it with Play/Pause button.
