MyMultimediaKeys yalvarez

Multimedia Keys on GNU/Linux, modified version of MMKeys extension from Daniel Parradel


Description

This is a quickly and untested modification version of MMKeys extension.
I hope could help someone until the official support of global shortcuts in GNU/Linux.




Release Notes

To get it work, first you have to start playing the library or any playlist and then the multimedia keys will work, at least for me.

Great, thanks for this one. MMKeys has not worked for me on ubuntu since songbird 1.0, but this works great! One thing is that pressing my keyboard shortcut for next track in ubuntu plays the previous track in songbird, and the previous track shortcut plays the next track in songbird. Other than that mix-up it's great to have my global shortcuts back again. Thanks!

I had the same problem, so i switch the code for that keys, it seems thats its' particular to each computer. If there are too much coments about that issue I'll leave them as they were and use that particular switch to my machine.

Hello yalvarez,

Could you post the source code or perhaps create a 64 bit version of MyMultimediaKeys? I have been trying to compile the original version of MMKeys using the (xulrunner-sdk version 1.9) of the Gecko engine. This is the error message I am getting:

MMKeysModule.cpp: In function ‘nsresult NSGetModule(nsIComponentManager*, nsIFile*, nsIModule**)’:
MMKeysModule.cpp:16: error: ‘NS_NewGenericModule2’ was not declared in this scope

Hi,
Nice addon but I can confirm that the next/previous track buttons are working in the opposite directions. I have a Logitech Wave wired keyboard and Ubuntu 8.10.
Thanks for the effort in making this!

Is there any way to get a version of this that will install under 1.1.2?

extract install.rdf from the .xpi and using text editor change the maximum version. i.e locate this line
<em:maxversion>1.1.1pre</em:maxversion>
and change to
<em:maxversion>1.2.*</em:maxversion>

save and drag n drop the install.rdf back to the xpi.
and install as usual.
works fine.
