could you try this version - as long as the mediakeys are not assigned, it should do no processing in MB and only in the mediakey plugin

Hi Steven,

I'm having exactly the same problem with Play/Pause and Next/Last Track - it seems the button operation is happening twice each time I press. I tried to download the other plugin version you suggested might fix this but it's apparently no longer available. Can you give me a link to download it?

Thanks.

Hello everyone,

I can't get this plugin working with my logitech K350 keyboard.
It will only work if I terminate the Logitech software.
And without the plugin I could only control Musicbee with the multimedia keys if the focus was in MB. When the cursor was somewhere else I could not control anything (but it worked with Mediaplayer).

I did as said in the manual but switching off the logitech software is not the point because I need it for other tasks

Any ideas?

I have the same issue... Disabling the Logitech SetPoint software leaves the media keys working (I'm using the plugin on this thread) but I need the software to be running for other features, can't disable it. How can we make the media keys on our Logitech keyboards work properly?

1. Disable all media hotkeys from your keyboard settings
Can anybody help me with this? I got a Logitech G19. How do I "disable" the media keys from my keyboard settings?

I'm using a Logitech Y-BN52 and it doesnt work with SetPoint (v6.61) running in the background. I guess they just don't cohere with one another. If I exit SetPoint, everything works but you don't get to use the other features that SetPoint offers on your keyboard, which is pretty much a trade-off.

edt: also found this information from a logitech support forum

" Since MusicBee, VLC and Mediamonkey are based upon web applets (flash, java script) and are not an application like the Windows Media Player, the keys on your Logitech Wireless Combo MK520 can't be able to change parameters like prev, play/pause, next, and media information "can't be understood" by the keyboard since it is based on flash, therefore you're unable to use the media keys with these programs."

different keyboards models, same brand, and same keyboard software (SetPoint)

What? That definitely is not accurate.  o.O

Anyway, try using an older version of setpoint. Other users here had success doing so in the past.  e.g. from here: http://www.oldapps.com/setpoint.php

Also this post here might be of some help if everything else fails: http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=8380.msg48551#msg48551

I know this topic is quite literally 4 years old at this point, but i'm having the same issue. Alternative media keys plugin works great once enabled, but i have to re-enable it after each time i restart my computer. The linked wiki page for the plugin has since been deleted, saying that the functionality is now included in musicbee- but I haven't found that to be the case. I still need the plugin to use media keys when musicbee is not the focused window. If anyone sees this, please let me know if you are aware of any solutions. Further information can be provided if necessary.
