SteelSeries Browser Cinema Extension

🎞 SteelSeries Browser Cinema Extension 🎞

⭐Have you ever wanted to automatically disable your gear lightning while you are watching movie or youtube video? Check this out ⭐

Extension for Chromium-based browsers (Chromium, Chrome, Vivaldi, Edge, Yandex.Browser) that allows to setup reactions for your SteelSeries devices on event when browser enters fullscreen mode.

⚠ Note: Currently it works only with SteelSeries GG on Windows

Why❓

Having gaming devices with fancy 💡 RGB led feels great, but it might become annoying while you are trying to watch movies or youtube video. This extension just allows to setup your device settings when browsers enters fullscreen mode. When browsers leaves fullscreen your device settings will drop to previous state before fullscreen event.

🔨 Setup

1. Make sure you have installed Steelseries GG from the offfical site https://steelseries.com/gg and configured your device inside Engine tab
2. Install `StellSeries Browser Cinema` extension from Chrome Store or from github releases page - https://github.com/meskill/steelseries-browser-cinema/releases
3. Navigate to `chrome://extensions` and click \"Details\" on the newly installed extension.
4. Scroll down and make sure the \"Allow access to file URLs\" is enabled.
5. Inside Engine -> Apps Tab in SteelSeries GG should appear new game named `Browser Cinema`
6. Go into `Browser Cinema` game
7. Choose `Event in Game -> FULLSCREEN`
8. Here you can setup your device reaction for browser fullscreen mode (I prefer to set it all to single black color that mean led will be turned off completely)
9. Repeat device set up for every of your devices

🎃 Caveats

- Currently supports only `Windows`
- Only default `SteelSeries GG` installation is supported (inside `C:/ProgramData/SteelSeries/SteelSeries Engine 3/`)
- The extension only works for web pages opened in fullscreen only for browser with enabled extension

🩺 Troubleshooting

❓ Cannot find game `Browser Cinema`

Try to reinstall extension as game is registered only on extension install

❓ Device state doesn't reflect browser mode

Make sure `SteelSeries GG` is running and extension is enabled in browser

❓ No answer on my question
