You just need go to File -> Preferences then navigate to Plugins -> General and check both Global Hotkey and Gnome Shortcuts.

No problem, I'm glad I was able to help. – Maduka Jayalath Nov 03 '13 at 06:37
is there a similar way to achieve the same for Amorok? – FranBran Dec 02 '15 at 20:54

I wonder where are these plugins in Audacious 4 (which uses Qt 5). – pevik Mar 30 '20 at 05:47
@pevik I think you need to install plugins separately on version 4 – Maduka Jayalath Mar 31 '20 at 13:15
@MadukaJayalath that plugin was packaged (in Debian package) for version 3. I guess it's not compatible with version 4, otherwise it'd be packaged. – pevik Mar 31 '20 at 18:39
@pevik Have a look on their download page, they said they have separated it for two, https://audacious-media-player.org/download – Maduka Jayalath Apr 01 '20 at 13:36
@MadukaJayalath yes, there are 2 files to download, but that's not the problem. Looking into git repository, hotkey plugin has not been ported to QT (ported plugins have -qt suffix). Debian uses still GTK port for 4.0, therefore there is hotkey.so plugin in audacious-plugins package. But openSUSE already builds QT thus plugin is not available. – pevik Apr 14 '20 at 09:44
Ah, there is already ongoing progress :) https://github.com/audacious-media-player/audacious-plugins/pull/86 – pevik Apr 14 '20 at 09:48

Compiled and loaded manually. Works perfectly, it even remember my settings from GTK. – pevik Apr 22 '20 at 16:32
