B1: Multimedia-Keyboard Problems

by **Peke** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 5:03 pm

You maybe experience the problem where MM is still detected as Winamp due the winamp Emulation. Delete all references of Winamp in Players.ini. If that do not help Send e Players.ini content in PM using CODE Enclosure within editor to ensure correct formatting.

I'm having trouble getting MM4's tracks to show up on my MX 5500 keyboard display.

I followed the article here: http://www.mediamonkey.com/support/inde ... ticleid=50
And changed one entry according to lewisgrimshaw's post above since I'm on Windows 7 x64.

Has anyone been able to get this to work?

Thanks!

SetPoint 6.32.7
MM 4.0.3.1476
Win 7 Pro x64 SP1

If you are running Vista 64bit you will need to change this piece of code [Players.Run]
to this altered one.

Code: Select all

[Players.Run]
MediaCenter=path,$WINDOWS\eHome
WinAmp3=reg,HKLM,SOFTWARE\Classes\Winamp3.File\DefaultIcon,,2
Rhapsody=reg,HKCR,rhap\DefaultIcon,,5
WinAmp5=reg,HKLM,SOFTWARE\Classes\Winamp.File\DefaultIcon,,2
mmonkey=path,C:\Program Files (x86)\MediaMonkey

hope this helps anyone that has run across this problem.

Hello,

I can use the multimedia keys in MM3, but I do not get any information about the song on the LCD of my MX5500. Is there a solution for this? I use SetPoint 4.60 and the Windows Media Player transmits the information very fine.

Regards,

Good Guide.
Thank you for update.

Haven't checked the forums in a while so sorry for late reply.

If you're referring to the problem with Setpoint you need to set it to use Generic keys.

First download and install UberOptions http://www.mstar.net/users/rlowens/

Then you can customize all the keys properly.

Select all the media keys you like to change and you can set custom keystrokes. Or if you'd just like them to do the default Play/Pause actions with MM set them to Other: Generic Button as shown in this screenshot.

Good Luck

Thx, for update, glad it worked.

ok, sorry.

here again:
I saved the code I referred to above as "players.ini", and put this one into the iTouch-folder (replacing the old players.ini)

This worked on my "Lochitech Access" keyboard.

@The BLION Corp.
We have Updated Knowledgebase, MMKeys Read TXT supplied with installation.

@skipgilles
You confused me completely

does it work with you or not, please let us know what you have tried and what worked or not?

Thanks peke, script works for logitech access aswell.

Thanks, I'm not really into changing things in .ini-files, so took me a while to find out what excactly to do with the code. For someone still looking for a solution that's alreay here: for dummy's:

paste peke's code (Thu Sep 13, 2007 10:16 pm in this thread)) into a notepad, and save this file as "players.ini" (so get rid of the '.txt') in the folder C:\Program Files\Logitech\iTouch

thanks, now listening to jimi hendrix, not skipping, pausing or stopping at all.

Hi,

MM 3, Windows XP SP2, Netropa Office Keyboard

I tried this
I checked that "global" is OK in hotkeys preferences.

Musikcube, Winamp and WMP can use my multimedia keyboard.

How to use MMkeys ?

No sent one to me for hard work, I promise that I'll use it on 4.24

They will "eventually" fix that

I wanted to let you all know I found a strange bug in Setpoint 4.24.

I mentioned in a previous message that I'm using a Cordless Desktop Wave (love it too!). I noticed two weeks ago that the Zoom toggle didn't work any more.
I called Logitech support and they told me the zoom key "only works in Photo Gallery" or other photo editing software. I know that's not correct.
They fiddled for several hours (yes, hours) and FINALLY decided that the switch in the keyboard had failed and would replace it.

After a major cluster f**k that resulted in my getting a shiny new Qucikcam (at no cost) as well, I got the replacement keyboard.
The Zoom control on it didn't work either.

I was running Setpoint 4.24, which they made sure of several times during troubleshooting. I removed it, and installed 4.00.121 (updated from the CD installer) and the Zoom key works fine.
My old keyboard wasn't broken, it's Setpoint 4.24!!

They let me keep my old keyboard, which is normally returned. Now I have two perfectly working keyboards, and a QuickCam!!!
I wonder if I should tell Logitech?

@pcaffalldavis
have you tried with Latest Setpoint 4.24. I just tested it with MM 3.0.2.1131 and it worked?

@aasubs
Are you sure that you are doing it Correctly?
Here is File Listing:

Code: Select all

 Directory of c:\MMKeys

19.01.2008  00:10    <DIR>          .
19.01.2008  00:10    <DIR>          ..
17.01.2008  23:33           168.960 MMKeys.exe
18.01.2008  00:55                32 MMkeys.ini
18.01.2008  00:09             3.519 MMkeys.txt
05.10.2005  20:35                45 Next.bat
17.01.2008  23:33           168.960 next.exe
05.10.2005  20:36                46 Pause.bat
17.01.2008  23:33           168.960 pause.exe
05.10.2005  20:36                45 Play.bat
17.01.2008  23:33           168.960 play.exe
17.01.2008  22:45                53 PlayPause.bat
17.01.2008  23:33           168.960 playpause.exe
05.10.2005  20:37                45 Prev.bat
05.10.2005  20:37                45 Stop.bat
17.01.2008  23:33           168.960 stop.exe

And When I execute each EXE Command is executed.
Have you edited MMkeys.ini to point at MediaMonkey Install Folder?
