RM-820 (Remote) media buttons doesn't work with GPMDP

[f1xmAn]

OS: Windows 10 Pro Issue Descriptions: GPMDP doesn't react on media keys on remote from sound blaster x-fi surround 5.1 pro. Remote model is RM-820. Key mappings attached. Another players work well with this remote (I tried Windows Media Player, Groove Music and Spotify (desktop application)). Steps to Reproduce:

1. Connect sound card
2. Open GPMDP
3. Play any music
4. Press play/pause or previous/next buttons

This is one of those things where there is nothing we can do about this. We listen for keyboard events in the "correct" way, if this remote emits the wrong events or doesn't emit them in a standard way we can't handle that.

Try enabling the Windows 10 Media Service and see if that helps 👍

Hi! Can you provide a list of events which is listened by the app? I'll see if I can emit them by remote.

Taken from this list.

We listen to

• VK_MEDIA_NEXT_TRACK
• VK_MEDIA_PREV_TRACK
• VK_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE

And if the media service is enabled we listen to OS level media events

Ok, thanks.
