Plugin - Global Multimedia Keys

[reececonrad]

Holy crap. That's the best/easiest plugin ever! I never thought it would actually work. I have a crappy Gateway KB-0532 keyboard with NO SOFTWARE at all, lol... just put it in the plugin folder and it works. Wow!

[ijustwantthemmkeysfixty]

[therealnapster]

[uiop]

Dude, your awesome! I joined this forum just to download this. At first it didn't work, but then I saved it to the App Data folder....it worked. Thanks!

[arsa]

Yeah, on vista if you press play/pause button, it does both pause and play... so doesn't work

[chelitobe]

Now playing on iTunes: central living - visions

via FoxyTunes

[ageezee]

works for me on inspiron 1720 with vista.

[woody1010]

hey, i downloaded the addon on my dell inspiron 6400, its made the multi media buttons work when itunes is'nt the active screen but the volume still goes up in doubles and the mute button doesnt work

[mattiec741]

love it! thanks!

[Swimy]

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

Dude your awsome!! Just what i need so i don't tab out during a raid of WoW, " AFK iTunes "

[kjeksmannen]

Thanks a lot! works great!

[cborga]

thanks much been using itunes allot lately and when i was playing wow i couldn't change the song without alt tabbing

[Xenko]

Thanks. Works swell... only took me a few minutes to figure out that I should create the Plug-Ins folder myself

(Dell XPS M1530 running Vista Ultimate Edition and iTunes 7.6)

[nightro298200]

Hey, plugin sometimes doesn't work if you put it in x:program filesitunesplugins

Instead, try to put it into:

x:Documents and SettingsUSERNAMEApplication DataApple ComputeriTunesiTunes Plug-ins

and, on a safe side, here:

x:Documents and SettingsAll usersApplication DataApple ComputeriTunesiTunes Plug-ins

worked thanks

PRAISE THE LORD!!

It was sooo damned annoying having to to switch songs while playing a game in full screen mode. Your a savior!!!!!

Thank You!

I thought it was really quite rude to make us have to register to download this essential iTunes plugin... I use it on my main computer as if it were part of iTunes itself. I don't know where I got it if I didn't register here before though... (is that a new thing, needing to register?)

Anyway, for those of you who also believe it's quite a ripoff to have people need to register, and since that plugin is now deemed "abandonware" (since it was last updated in 2003), I hosted it elsewhere for all to enjoy:

hostfile.org/mmKeys.dll

(view the stats of that file at hostfile.org/viewfile.php?file=mmKeys.dll)

Incredibly, it still works with the most recent version of iTunes. Now that's portable code.

(edit: By the way, it's "plug-ins", not "plugins", for the folder name under Program FilesiTunes.)

I .. love.. you..

Goodbye Zune media player!

[lukejjjj]

works great, great work ty

[Luisthe]

!!! Ty man !! u were a very good help with the plugin ! thx

[zxcvbnm12345]

Awsome, thanks! I did not have a folder labeled plug-ins, so under Itunes help, it said to make one. I made one under program files>Itunes>plugins and also my documents>My music>itunes>plug-ins

[shannon]

I was hopeful, put the dll file in all the folders mentioned, but no success. I read the rest of this thread for any glimmer of hope... I saw some mention somewhere of Mode 2... I'm assuming that's something different. Also, when I go to View, then Visualizer, it shows Global Multimedia Keys checked. I tried unchecking that too, without success.

HP Multimedia Keyboard, Window Media Center, Itunes 7.6.2.9 (HP)

Rolled back keyboard driver too.

Any ideas would be appreciated, but I understand not likely, since it seems to be working for most others.

[shannon]

I was going to ask if there's any way that I can tell if Itunes recognizes the Plug-in, but I assume the Global Multimedia Keys thing is the plug-in, and having it checked enables it?

Oh well, regardless, nothing seems to work...

[Witness]

Thanks so much!! Just what im looking for!

I know this is an old thread but the plug-in still works with iTunes 7.6.2.9!!!

Put into the folder C:Documents and SettingsxxxxxxApplication DataApple ComputeriTunesiTunes Plug-ins

The folder was already there so just paste the .dll in there, restart iTunes and use your media keys properly!!! =D

I also have a HP Keyboard, and doesn't work here neither.

It is also funny that when I hit the Help key, it only shows a page telling me to add a function to that key, and I have no idea how to do that.

[Danycacks]

works with me. i just changed the Fix Media Keys Functionality under the Compatibility/Multi-Plug-in Tabs.

I have it in Mode 2 for a Wireless HP keyboard.
