It seems that Logitech Setpoint (comes with my MX5500 keyboard) eats all the media keys (play/pause, next, prev) and only passes them to apps it knows about. This is controlled with the C:\Program Files\Logitech\SetPointP\players.ini file. There are entries in there for lots of players, but not, of course, our favorite new player, plexamp. This is all documented fairly well in this post.
Unfortunately, I don’t know what all the fields in that file mean and haven’t been able to get a working entry in there. Anyone have any hints?
Here’s the line I tried:
Plexamp=key,Plexamp.exe,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,0,1,Plexamp
Here the other entries in the file:
#List of supported players
#{btn|key|msg|emg|cmd|wac},exeName,wndClass,wndCaption,xxx,play_delayplay,pause,stop,prev,next,remove_flags,ShowOSD,menu_item
#special char → ^ ctrl;+ shift+ctrl; $ ctrl (no translation); * alt (no translation); @ ctrl+alt (no tanslation); & (no translation)
