Problem with hotkeys

Postby Manson1990 » 19 Aug 2018 11:16

Hi to all, and first of all, thanks to any person that read my message.

I'm a games streamer and I play music in my streams with VLC because I use an app that can use VLC to show the name of the songs in the stream, the problem that I have is that I can't use the hotkeys when i'm playing the game in the other screen and every time I need to stop or change the song for any reason (there's a lot of reasons during a stream) I need to stop playing the game too, change the screen and fullscreen the VLC app, and it's annoying.
Before using this app I used windows media player and I didn't have any problem with the hotkeys of having 2 screens.
In addition, even when I have vlc fullscreened I can't use the hotkey to stop or play again the song, just the next or previous song, I changed it and still doesn't work.

If you need any information, just tell me!
Thanks a lot! :) :twisted: :D

Hello,

you have to set Global hotkeys for that, In Tools -> Preferences -> HotKeys.
Be sure to use hotkeys that are not used by any other application, especially the game you are playing on.
