Plugin - Global Multimedia Keys

[virstulte]

iTunes 7.1 already has global hotkeys, you should uninstall localhosts's plugin. Your hotkeys will still work just fine

[Mercifull]

How do i uninstall the plugin? I deleted the dll but its still showing in itunes as being installed in View>Visualiser. Hotkeys are still not working properly

[[update]]

Turns out deleted the plugin still doesn't fix the problem in iTunes 7.1. well done apple. *sarchasicly slow clapping*

Thanks a lot! for this plugin. I have been looking for something like this ever since I fist started using iTunes. I'm using Zboard and it works great. Thanks again!

[Hoody]

I also have a Zboard - All buttons work apart from Start/Stop. Cant find the settings in 7.1 for their Global Media Keys....

If you have a multimedia keyboard with Play, Stop, etc. buttons, you've probably noticed that those keys only work if the iTunes window is the active window.

this plugin fixes it

You should put it in C:Program FilesiTunesPlug-Ins

THANKS so much wow this plugin is amazing you have no idea how irritating it is to have to go into itunes to change songs etc.

Thanks localhost! This sure beats my old setup (I had a bunch of .vbs scripts bound to the different play keys, which was rather slow.)

Love your work man! Keep it up!

niiiceee!!

thanks dude

Great job on this.

I have been looking for something like this for my Dell E1505.

It works great except for one thing.... When iTunes is minimized then the combo play/pause button pauses the music but for only about half a second. Also when you hit stop when iTunes is minimized then the play button wont restart the music.

I used my multimedia volume buttons to control system volume so the fact that they dont control the itunes volume doesnt matter for me.

Otherwise this is a greatly appreciated plugin.

Thanks.

Spent like 3 hours googling to fix this problem and finally found this, thought it would work but it didn't!

Any ideas why? Microsoft Multimedia Keyboard. Best drivers, works with Windows Media Player perfect. iTunes will work if I have it selected, but if I'm in a game or checking websites it will not work. So annoying. Any other ideas why it won't?

@knivesc: iTunes 7.x has in-built multimedia keys support !!

[ne0medina]

Great plugin!!

here another happy user

Dell inspiron 6400

10x a lot localhost

[knivesc]

But it still won't work when I'm in a game etc helps mé

[Dream_Team]

Some games just eats the messages responsible of multimedia keys support , preventing an app to capture it, mostly to prevent cheating using hooks.

Then it's not iTunes fault if it doesn't works :/

For example, in Oblivion, media keys doesn't work, while they do under DoD:Source

[knivesc]

Nah It's not just in games, you literally have to have the iTunes miniplayer selected for it to work :|

[Sartre]

Global hotkeys don't work in 7.2, maybe 7.1 as well. This plugin works fine.

[KittenNipples]

awesome mod, thanks a mil! i was gettin so angry at having to alt tab to switch song when im playn wow.

[kflipmasta]

Awesome! works great! Got the Media Keys on my Dell Inspiron 9400 to finally work with the new version of iTunes. Thanks!

[prolifick21]

hey that update for global hotkeys that apple did worked. but i just updated to itunes 7.3 and it no long works anymore. im trying to find that plugin folder so i can put this script in but i think that might of removed it. anyone else having this same problem or can help me fix mine. i have a dell inspiron 9300

[Unknownloot]

Hey Localhost!

I have been searching for the addon you made for itunes. (The one that made an inactive window able to switch song with hotkeys).

Although I'm running windows vista at the moment, and when I have your addon enabled, then the "aero" theme dosen't work, it simply switch back to the standard theme.

I don't expect you to know anything about vista, but you might have an idea why your addon cause this

Anyways, i'd love to hear from you.

Best regards, Jonas Lind

By the way, I will probally not visit these forums again, since I only joined as member to download your plugin.

so, if you wish to reply to my message, then please send an e-mail to Jonasnlind@gmail.com

I am writing this message here, since Localhost got his "pm" quota filled, sorry for sending this irrelevant to the public forums.

On the other hand, if you guys got an anwser then I would love to hear from you too!

Thanks a ton, works great. I used to use Multi-Plugin but only for the media keys functionality. I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 btw.

[eclecticmentis]

Hi,

Thanks for the plugin, worked perfectly! I have iTunes 7.3 and multimedia Gateway keyboard (model # KB-0532).

Since I did not have a "Plug-Ins" folder, I just created one and dropped the file in there.

Thanks again.

I was wondering what you used to write Global Multimedia Keys and if possible for you to send me a copy of the source code. I want it to stop controlling iTunes when windows media player is open. If you dont want to release it could you at least give me some pointers on how to create my own version? Thanks.

OMG This is awesome!!! I don't know which worked well tho cuz I copied the file both in the itunes install folder and the Apl Data folder that was suggested after.

Thank you a LOT for this file keep up the good work!!
