MediaKeyRelay

What is this?

Have you ever wanted to pause/play/ff/rewind your music player while ingame? Ever wondered why those nice media buttons never worked? Well so have I. While I'm not entirely sure why it doesn't work, I have good news! This app is for you!

How's it work?

When the app starts a low level keyboard hook is activated. This allows the app to capture keystrokes regardless of what app you are currently using. If this sounds like a keylogger, well it is!

Don't worry though, as the app only captures default media keys like Play/Pause, fast forward and rewind. You can even control the volume if you have the controls on your keyboard.

Features

  • Can refire media events when using non fullscreen/directx apps. (Keyboard Events)
  • You can fire media events to supported media players by checking the corresponding app and configuring the appropriate settings.
  • Media players are connected to over their web interfaces. I simply send a POST request in order to bypass the whole signalling issue.
  • So far only MPC-HC and VLC are supported fully.
  • Can minimize to tray icon.
  • Can run at startup.

TODO

  • Add Installer
  • Make it look a bit nicer
