Chrome Extension, Add Listener Not Responding
I'm trying to create an alert on when chrome.tabs.audible changes condition. After reading the Google developer API information, I do not understand what I'm doing incorrectly. I'm not familiar with JS, so it is possible I'm doing something stupid...
manifest.json:
{
"name": "Extension",
"author": "Extension Author",
"description": "Extension description",
"manifest_version": 2,
"version": "1",
"permissions": [
"tabs",
],
"browser_action": {
"default_popup": "popup.html"
},
"background": {
"scripts": [
"js/background.js"
],
"persistent": false
}
}
background.js:
chrome.tabs.audible.addListener(function(tabs) {
alert("AUDIO");
});
I'm able to load the extension and load the 'popup.html' menu. If I add alert("test"); to 'backgournd.js' outside of a function, it will create the alert.

Look at the Summary table here. There is no Method, Event or Property "audible" inside it, so your chrome.tabs.audible shouldn't work. It is equal to undefined.
You should use onupdate event. So, you code looks like:
chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(function(tabId, changeInfo, Tab){
if(changeInfo.audible){
console.log("The tab with id = " + tabId + "has changed its audible state.");
}
})
