I have been trying to assign the media keys on my keyboard for use with VLC (tried 0.9.9 and some of the latest nightlies for 0.9.10 and 1.0.0-pre1) and while the settings recognise that I set them, assigning values such as 'media prev track' and 'media next track', the interface does not seem to react to them. As a test case:
- take 0.9.9
- open the settings and set the short-cuts for previous and next to correspond to the 'media prev' and ' media next' keys (apply and save)
- place some media files into the play list and start playing
- try using those keys to jump previous and next
The result is that the track continues playing as if those keys were never pressed.
Have tested with a Dell keyboard, but I have someone else who is seeing the same issue with the G11 Keyboard.
Edit: corrected typing

Providing logs, messages, configuration info (VLC, OS, Hardware) and a clear explanation of the issue always helps the problem solvers help you, even if they don't end up solving the issue. Just think what you would need if you were solving someone else's problem. Additional: Always looking for eager and capable MacOS X developers to join the VLC team - for more information see here.

Re: Media keys and VLC
That would be me. I've brought up the subject in the IRC as I can't use my G11's media keys, while VLC enlists them as Media Next Track, Media Prev Track, Media Play Pause and Media Stop. I'd really like to know if its possible to use the keys, since they do work in WMM and WinAmp.but I have someone else who is seeing the same issue with the G11 Keyboard.
Any help is much appriciated!
Edit: I just tried a Trust keyboard with media keys, and that one didn't work either.

Re: Media keys and VLC
Sorry for the enormous bump, but I just tried the same thing in Ubuntu 8.0.4.2 64-Bit Desktop edition, and it didn't work there either, so its not really windows-specific anymore.
