1.0.0-rc3 and the keyboard media controls

Postby Wizardling » 13 Jun 2009 13:31

G'day - 1.0.0-rc3 responds to the back, play/pause and forward buttons on my keyboard regardless of whether VLC is in focus :-( This causes huge problems if I leave a video halfway through and then use iTunes which I expect to be the only app that will ever respond to the KB media keys without being front and centre, as it were. It also means if I open, say QT Player and use the KB media keys to control it (and this only works while QT Player is in focus - as it should) that I'm now controlling two videos :-(

Anyway - what version should I revert to to get rid of this bug? It had been a while since I updated, so I'm unsure how far to regress.

TIA,

Download 0.9.9a. I don't think that has media accesskey support. But i'm not sure either.
Don't use PMs for support questions.

Has this been fixed in v1.0.0?

No, VLC 1.0 was feature complete at the day of report. A fix will be included in version 1.0.1. Unti then, get VLC 0.9.9a, which doesn't include media key support.

Already am. Thanks for the update - I'll wait for 1.0.1.
