control vlc with media buttons on dell notebook

Postby Hugh of Borg » 19 Oct 2005 19:52

Hello everyone

I would like to control VLC with the nice media buttons on my notebook. However i have some problems finding a solution.
  • First problem being that i don't know what commands these button will have to generate in order to achieve the desired effect.
  • The second problem concerns the programm that dell uses for these buttons. I have located the apropiate entries in the registry that should allow to create new schemes and edit them. Unfortunately these entries are secured by a checksum which prevents simple editing. If there is a program that can edit these entries while maintaining the checksums i believe it would work... Someone knows such a prog?
The registry entries can be found here. They are quite selfexplanatory.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Dell Computer Corporation\AccessDirect

I would be very thanksful if someone could help me with this problem.

Thanks for you time
Hugh of Borg
