VLC, Vista x64 and G1S

Hey guys. I was wondering if it is possible to have the media keys work for VLC on Vista x64 on a G1S. I tried, but I could not get it working. I was wondering if someone else got it to work or could at least try it out and report back to confirm that it doesn't work.

Thanks

 

Media keys are generally controlled directly by the HControl driver, which is uneditable. There isn't a way to set them to default to anything else, WindowsMedia, iTunes, VLC, etc that has come through here as I recall.

 

The G1S media keys work for Windows Media Player, Media Player Classis, Winamp, and Itunes. VLC has the option to choose your own hotkeys and it shows things like Media Play Pause, Media Next, Media Prev, and Media Stop. Unfortunately, I have tried these and no effect what so ever.

I am asking someone else with a G1S, Vista x64, and VLC to try setting the hotkey in VLC because I have no way of confirming whether there is a problem with my install, unless I spend 4 hours backing up my files, 30 minutes installing Vista, and 1 hour installing drivers. That's 330 minutes that I do not want to spend trying to test this out.

If someone who already has VLC, Vista x64, and a G1S sets the hotkeys in VLC to Media Play Pause, Media Next, Media Prev, and Media Stop and tries them out could report back the results, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks again.

 

Huh - well, I stand corrected then. thx for elaborating with your post

 

Okay here is a little update. Seems that the G1S Media Keys work with VLC once set in VLC's hotkey screen, but they only work when VLC is fullscreen and has focus.

They don't work when VLC is out of focus or when VLC is not fullscreen.

Can anyone confirm the above?

Thanks again

 

Anyone able to confirm this? This won't bork you're computer. I am merely asking someone to try out the hotkey setup as above in VLC and to report back.

Thanks.
