Media keys not interacting with Media programs #4229

Closed jw-y closed 4 years ago

jw-y commented 5 years ago

Hello! I am currently using Satan gh60 and I am using Windows 10.

KC_MEDIA_NEXT_TRACK | KC_MNXT | Next Track (Windows) KC_MEDIA_PREV_TRACK | KC_MPRV | Previous Track (Windows) KC_MEDIA_STOP | KC_MSTP | Stop Track (Windows)

I used these media keys using the aliases like KC_MSTP on my code, but it does not interact with many of the media programs, like foobar2000, Groove Music or youtube. But it seems that it works with some programs like Potplayer.

So I looked up the Autohotkey history and it shows that the registered media keys are "artificial" which I have no idea what it means. I think this has to do with this because if I register media keys with keys that were redirected by Autohotkeys it does not say artificial and it works fine.

However, it seems that the volumn keys, although they appear as "artificial", works fine.

I've tried turning off all the autohotkey scripts but no luck there too. EXTRAKEY_ENABLE is yes also in rules.mk file...

Thanks for your time!

Odd. If you use Switch Hitter, I get this for the "play" button:

7:41.0108  (0xB3, BIOS 0xE000) DOWN
17:41.0229  (0xB3, BIOS 0xE000) UP -> 121ms

And it works properly. It may be worth testing this out.

Thanks for the reply!

It turns out that when I restart my computer and never start Autohotkey script the play button works.

Even when I exit all the script Autohotkey seems to mess up the keypress.

So I guess it is solved? But it is weird that even after turning them all off it still doesn't work...

It sounds like AHK is intercepting it, and messing with it somehow. :(

jw-y commented 5 years ago

As I have tried to open and close various programs, I turned out that it was not AHK. It was actually the Google Music extension in Chrome browser. I removed it and it works fine now!

hahaha, well that would do it! And glad that you found the perpetrator!
