| Summary | 0001731: Playback problems with logitech keyboards | ||||
| Description | It seems that this is a major issue, and we should tackle it, if we have time during the stabilization period. I say _major_ because it's one of the 'most popular' issues in our forum. | ||||

Fixed in build 836. Test of Logitech keyboard I have: 1. Without any driver loaded – works fine in MM because it can intercept multimedia keys. In this test case many multimedia applications don’t work well (e.g. iTunes) because they don’t have this capabilities. 2. With SetPoint application (newer Logitech’s application I received with the keyboard) – MM and other applications work all well, this application processes the keys in a correct way. It’s useful to add several configuration items to {Program Files}\Logitech\SetPoint\Players.ini file, for example it allows to use prev/next buttons for seeking in tracks then (by holding them down). We should contact Logitech so they include this in their application: [Players] MediaMonkey=cmd,MediaMonkey.exe,Winamp v1.x,xxx,xxx,40045,40046,40047,40044,40048,0,1,MediaMonkey MediaMonkeyNS=cmd,MediaMonkey (non-skinned).exe,Winamp v1.x,xxx,xxx,40045,40046,40047,40044,40048,0,1,MediaMonkey [Players.Display] MediaMonkey=MediaMonkey MediaMonkeyNS=MediaMonkey [Players.Seek] MediaMonkey=cmd,40148,xxx,1 MediaMonkeyNS=cmd,40148,xxx,1 [Players.Rewind] MediaMonkey=cmd,40144,xxx,1 MediaMonkeyNS=cmd,40148,xxx,1 [Players.BurnSupported] MediaMonkey=True MediaMonkeyNS=True 3. With iTouch application (older Logitech’s application, I downloaded it, it’s probably obsolete now) – MM skips several tracks on Prev/Next buttons as described in forums (in case the items from Players section above aren’t included in Players.ini file of iTouch application). The only way how to fix this I found was to disable the standard way MM processed multimedia keys. This is done by adding the following to the MM.ini file: [System] InterceptMMKeys=0 |

Closing based on Jiri's verification. |

[System] InterceptMMKeys=0 I can verify that line add in Mediamonkey.ini solves problem when MM is on top, but I found two more bugs: BUG 1: When MM is minimized in Taskbar. MM recognizes Play Command but My multimedia keyboard Do not recognizes MM as Started APP so it executes default Action when No Media Application is Started (Selection dialog in which I need to select which media will be played), This was working in MM 2.1 Final but not neither in MM 2.2 or in MM 2.3. Everything work ok when I use WMP 10 this bug is only in MM. BUG 2: When MM is minimized to tray. MM Do not even recognize Play Event and My multimedia keyboard executes default Action when No Media Application is Started (Selection dialog in which I need to select which media will be played), This was working in MM 2.1 Final but not neither in MM 2.2 or in MM 2.3. Everything work ok when I use WMP 10 this bug is only in MM. |

It doesn't seem to be a MM bug, I don't know why it isn't recognized by the keyboard driver. It probably miss some kind of configuarion like Logitech keyboards have. |

Numerous users have confirmed that this works. |
