I just got a Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro. The media keys on the keyboard work fine as long as MJ is the foreground application. If MJ is not the foreground app, Pause/Play brings up Window Media Player, and the other keys do nothing.

In Windows Media Player, the media keys work regardless of the foreground app.

I'd rather not go through the hassle of dealing with Girder if this can be fixed natively...

Media Jukebox  8.0.196

CPU: Intel Pentium III 750 MHz MMX
Memory: Total - 523 MB, Free - 230 MB
OS: Microsoft Windows XP Workstation 5.1  (Build 2600)

Internet Explorer: 6.0.2600.0000
ComCtl32.dll: 6.00.2600.0000
Shlwapi.dll: 6.00.2600.0000
Shell32.dll: 6.00.2600.0000

The keyboard driver is the native WinXP driver (version 5.1.2600.0)

Thanks

I have a similar problem with my Logicool media keys.  Brought the subject up a few months ago, but no one seemed to know the solution.  The keys work just fine with WinAmp and Sonique.  I wonder what the difference is.  It would be so convinient if these keys worked on MJ.  I'm using the mute key when the phone rings for the time being.

Anyone from JRiver care to comment on this? Is it a bug? Working as designed? Planned feature?

I can deal with setting up girder if I have to, but I don't want to bother if this is something that is considered broken and to be fixed for 8.0...

Tonight's build should make the MM keys work from everywhere.

Thanks for the idea.
