Question:
Direct media buttons and remote, HEL80
Hi.
I just wondered, which program controls the media buttons and the remote control on the HEL80? The buttons and the remote control works with windows media player, but I want to extend the functionality to other programs such as winamp.
Is it possible to use the remote for other programs such as WinLirc? Is there a plugin for winamp which supports either the media buttons or remote control?
Again, which program(s) control theese functions?

*bump*...It looks like it's the application RemoteControl is the application which controls the remote (application that comes with Lifeview)

Yey! I got Winamp working with both the media buttons and the remote!!
I found a plugin for winamp which is originally designed for the Dell inspiron series. Luckily, they also work for at least the HEL 80 :):

Hotkeys doesn't give you control with the dedicated buttons. It just gives you control with ctrl+pgup/pgdown, ctrl+end ect... I've been trying to get those keys to work with winamp myself, I'll give the plugin a try.

My dedicated buttons works like a charm without the plugin...(I think at least I removed the plugin, it's not in the list anymore...)

Ok, if I'm not in a fullscreen program that works fine... but the second I load up a fullscreener... no go... its ok though, I'm probably going to be hooking up my logitech keyboard/mouse and I know that works for controlling media stuff while in fullscreen applications.

My buttons works when running a fullscreen application...I'm now using the global hohtkeys in winamp (maybe there are leftovers of the plugin?)...Which did you try pyro, winamp hotkeys or plugin? or maybe both?
