VLC-Player

So this is not realy an addon Help/Support Question but It has something to do with the WoWVid Addon.
I have a Logitech G 110 Keybord and Windows 7 (64 bit prof). Now I woud like to Pause/Play the VLC Player ingame with the Play/Pause buttons on this keybord. It works fine with Windows Mediaplayer but if I put up VLC as the default Player the keys will only work in windows NOT if wow is open. Anyone has a solution of this problem?

Solution: Don't use VLC.

Try setting the Global hotkeys in VLC Preferences to your media keys.

I had a similar problem with VLC, and ended up just using AutoHotkey to intercept the Play/Pause key when VLC is running and translate it to "send Space keypress to VLC".

Code:
DetectHiddenWindows on
SetTitleMatchMode 2

$Media_Play_Pause::
IfWinExist VLC media player
{
	ControlSend, , {Space}, VLC media player
}
else IfWinNotExist foobar2000
{
	Run foobar2000
	WinWait foobar2000
	WinActivate
}
else
{
	Send {Media_Play_Pause}
}
return
That'll also launch foobar2000 if it's not running, since otherwise Windows insists on launching Windows Crapedia Player if no other media player is running. If you use WMP you can just remove the middle "else" block; if you use another media player just change "foobar2000" to the name of your media player.

All other media players have such terrible playlist management.

OK I use VLC because its supportet by the WoWVid addon. Is the DirectX (DirectDraw) mode also possible with othere players exapt VLC and KMPlayer?

I resetted the global key and put the hotkey the the "media Player pause" button to the globals and its now working fine - but as you said VLC is not my love video player

MPC-HC, which is bundled with CCCP, has an Overlay mixer. That should work for this.
