Required setup for swap output device button

In order for the swap output device button to work, you must have the keybind CTRL + F9 (Windows) or WIN + F9 (Linux) configured to swap the sound output device on your system.

Required setup for previous/next item buttons

In order for previous/next item buttons to work, you must add two entries to the keyboard.json input map located in the inputmaps folder of the Plex HTPC install path.

The entries you must add are "Del": "skip_previous" and "Ins": "skip_next".

The complete keyboard.json input map used at the time of writing this is:
