Control of play/pause/... while smp in background

Postby aksha » Wed Nov 27, 2013 3:45 pm

Hello, I am a new user and i love the simplicity of smplayer, and its power.

I am using the player to listen to audio files while i am working in another application. (listening to classes while taking notes).

So i would really appreciate to be able to stop/resume/rewind a few secs, with special keys, while my pdf or note taking application remains in the foreground.

So far i tried with remote app for vlc, but it's too complicated (using a tablet as control surface). I also have a dj controller (with vdj) but that's overkill imho :geek:

Hence, the idea of using smp and remapping the controls to the windows media keys on my keyboard.

this is working!! :) .... however it won't let me control smp while it's running in the background... which defeat the purpose of having dedicated media keys. :cry:

Has anyone here been confronted with the same problem and found a way out? (if no smp then which player...?)

Thanks for the help!
