Like almost every keyboard out there mine has those custom "play" "pause" "next" etc. buttons. And when I loaded up Xion I thought: “ohh crap - those buttons only work with WMP and Winamp” -.-
But hey! I was wrong! Your custom shortcuts can map those keys too - radical!
There's just one issue I have with them. There's just a "play" and a "pause" shortcut you can map. I've done a little research and all the keyboards I've found have just a "play/pause" button. So if you could add an optional "play/pause" shortcut also, it would be wicked :)
In the meantime, mapping the pause shortcut to the play button, with the option "Auto play on start" selected, would give you the "play button from WMP"-feel ;)
Oh yea compatibility with the G15 Media LCD display would be AWESOME – but let’s face it, too few people using it, so.
I just bought the "Internet Keyboard Elite" (micro innovations) (on Vista)
All the default settings just work fine for Xion, with one exception:
I can't get Xion to show up in the list, which Player to start (I suppose that Info is supposed to be in the registry somewhere)
I already switched from the USB-Version to the install version...but still it doesn't show up.
Does anyone know what reg-key to set to have Xion as default audio player?
In Vista's "Default Program" section I can only set associations to filetypes.

Hi NaR00W and welcome to the Xion community!
If you simply bind the play/pause button to the pause button in Xion it will work exactly as you intend. If a song is stopped, it will play the song. If a song is paused, it will play the song. If a song is playing, it will pause the song.

I've had a few requests for this, however I don't have one of these keyboards to test it out on and ensure its all working
"In the meantime, mapping the pause shortcut to the play button, with the option "Auto play on start" selected, would give you the "play button from WMP"-feel ;)"
Just thought it would be more logical if you called that shortcut "play/pause" instead;).
If you do actually want to make a g15 media addon, please let me know if there's anything i can help you with, mainly providing the g15 keyboard to test it on ;)

Sure, I'd love to support the g15. The only thing is that it might be a problem of logistics depending on where on this planet you live
In case you weren't sure, I live in Brisabne, Australia
