Not having a multimedia keyboard, I wanted a way to control MJ while it is not the foreground application.  I think I could have used Girder or uICE, but they seemed like overkill.

Instead, I created a simple VB app that takes command line arguments and sends the approriate commands to MJ.  Using this in combination with a freeware product called WinKey (http://www.copernic.com/winkey/), I now have keys like Windows-N for next track, Windows-L for previous, etc.

If anyone is interested in this solution, please respond and I can put the executable somewhere for pickup.  Perhaps JRiver would be interested in putting this on their ftp site?

MJ Rocks!

I'd be very interested in this. One of the few things I miss from not using Winamp anymore.....If you could post the file I'd be grateful.

Dave,
Send me an email at tsouthen@hotmail.com and I will send you the executable.

Why not just post it?

Or if you like you can send it to me and I'll put it up on my FTP site.

I, on the other hand, do have a multimedia keyboard. However, it only works when MJ is in focus. Other multimedia applications, such as Windows Media Player, function properly with the multimedia keys when out of focus. Therefore, I think it's just an issue with the MJ code.

Speaking of witch, A while ago i was given the text strings to ubdate the inf file for my multi media key board and since the last few beta updates I have lost the media key intergration.  Any clues yall, I got an logitech Itouch freedom.

toddler - does it just pass parameters to the MediaJukebox.exe file or what cause if it does can you post what the parameters are to do what commands so I can set it up to work with my uICE.

Thanks

Doof:
Where can I post this file?  I don't have my own ftp site.  Is there somewhere on JRiver's ftp site that I can put it?

Nila:
The program sends WM_COMMAND messages to MJ through the PostMessage Win32API function.  I used Spy|PLS||PLS| to figure out what the commands are.  Let me know if you need more details.
