Empower the multimedia functions of your keyboard for VLC and other programs.
Usually keyboards nearly always include
multimedia keys, that normally control playback (play/pause, stop and next/previous track) and volume control. They are normally
keys that don't require any configuration, but due to this they have limited compatibility. They basically work with the default multimedia player, but if we use an application that isn't
Windows Media Player, it is possible that we won't be able to do anything with these keys. To be able to use these keys with other applications, you can configure them with
Media Keyboard 2 Media Player.
Once
Media Keyboard 2 Media Player is installed, is stays in the system tray it waits for a key to be pressed, to be see
what multimedia player we are using (or which one we want to open as default). It is compatible with
VLC Media Player,
XMPlay,
Xion,
1Byl, it even works with
Winamp Classic,
Zinf and
Freamp.
This application is very interesting if you have a
wireless multimedia center keyboard, but you can't get the special keys to work with the aforementioned players, now with
Media Keyboard 2 Media Player we won't have to use the mouse when we need one of these actions.
