NANY 2012 Release: MPH (Media Player Hotkeys)

<< < (4/13) > >>

Rockets:
Could you add mplayer too, please?

skwire:
Hello, Rockets, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.  AFAIK, mplayer, by itself, doesn't include a GUI.  Did you have in mind a particular GUI for mplayer?

Rockets:
I use this one:

I did try to get that one to work in the past but was unable to.  This is a common problem with "front-end" type of players such as this one.  SMPlayer and MPUI are two other mplayer front-ends that I haven't been able to get to work.  The problem is exacerbated when those front-ends use custom skins instead of regular controls.

Now, that being said, if you have some AutoHotkey code that you happen to use that DOES control mplayer-WW, I'd be happy to test it out and add the support to MPH.

Media player hotkeys allow you to control the media player with the keyboard and even if the program window is not the active window on the system. That’s handy if you are working in fullscreen applications or do not want to switch regularly between the window you are working in and the media player window.

With multiple displays, it seems a matter of time before one wants to have a video playing on one display while working on another display -- e.g. watching a development-oriented video tutorial on one display while following tutorial steps on another.

In my environment, it turns out that the media keys are not very convenient to use so I chose to use the fourth mouse button for play / pause using VLC.  This seems to be working well so far with MPH  :up:

Thanks skwire for MPH (and mouser for the article link) :)


P.S. I appreciate the "Start minimized", "Minimize to tray", and "Close to tray" options!
