Streamkeys is a Chrome extension that will allow you to control online media players from anywhere on your computer using hotkeys that you define. Check out the sitelist to see a list of available sites and the guide for setup instructions.
Make sure that you have restarted any music player tabs that you previously had open before you installed the extension. Also make sure that the extension is enabled on the Chrome extension page (chrome://extensions in URL bar)
To make the extension work we need to make use of the chrome.tabs API which gives extension's the power to monitor a user's browser behaviour. Streamkeys does not do this! Check out the source code if you are interested.

Yes. You can change all of the hotkeys on the Chrome extension's page. See the guide here for more information.
It is possible that you have set the hotkeys to ones that are already reserved by Chrome. For example, on Mac the hotkey Command + Y is already reserved by chrome to open the history panel and so it cannot be used by extensions. Make sure that the hotkeys you are trying to use are not already Chrome defaults.
You are probably trying to set a hotkey that is not valid. All hotkey combinations must include either Ctrl (Command on Macs) OR Alt, but NOT both. The list of supported keys are: A-Z, 0-9, Comma, Period, Home, End, PageUp, PageDown, Insert, Delete, Arrow keys (Up, Down, Left, Right) and the Media Keys (MediaNextTrack, MediaPlayPause, MediaPrevTrack, MediaStop).
