I'd like to disable the space key from starting play back.  I've set 'Media Key Mode" to Disabled but this is not changing the behavior.  JRiver is very highly customizable so I'm sure I'm missing something.  How can this be done?  Thanks.

Search for Resource.xml in the MC installation directories, the forum, and the Wiki. It is a file. Hot keys are defined in there. Back up the original. There is a learning curve.

But really, Spacebar should only Play/Pause at appropriate times, not, for example, while you are trying to type something. Are you really sure you want to disable it?

Roderick,  Thanks very much.  I never use the hot keys so there's no disadvantage to me for disabling.  It interferes when I inadvertantly press the space key and the JRiver window is on top...something somewhere in my house starts playing....inadvertantly.  Is there any way to simply disable the hot keys completely?  What does the 'Media Key Mode' setting do?  Thank you.

The "Media Key Mode" setting just manages the Windows media keys on a keyboard: Play/Pause, Stop, Next, Previous, Volume buttons.

Hot Keys are much more extensive and include key combinations equivalent to the Media Keys above. Such as Ctrl+S is Stop. These: https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Keyboard_Hot-keys

I don't know of any way to simply disable the Hot Keys completely. I would suggest you don't do that. But it would be easy enough to disable the Space functionality. Just comment out the line;
<Entry Key="Space" Command="10000" Param="-1" TranslateFlags="401" />
in the Resource.xml file for the MC installation.

So that would look like;
<!-- <Entry Key="Space" Command="10000" Param="-1" TranslateFlags="401" /> -->
