MMKeys

You should update the name of the extension so people understand this is for Linux Multimedia Keyboard Support. "MMKeys" isn't terribly obvious.

works well for me under Ubuntu edgy , this was the last plugin i wanted to completely switch to Songbird , thx you very much !

http://bugzilla.songbirdnest.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2549 You have a bug in bugzilla for this addon. Please make a bugzilla account and accept this bug. Thanks mig

Didn't work on Ubuntu 7.04 using Dell 1705. Please Fix this add-on!!

i found out It's because of no DBus support in Feisty... If anyone knows how to comment this so they'll add support for this in the new release please tell me how..

Same issue here. It didn't work on Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty).

None of my media players in Ubuntu 7.04 respond to the media keys. Are sure that it is a bug in the add-on?

This sort of works on Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) with the media keys on my Lenovo T61 laptop. I am using Songbird 0.4rc2. The skip forward and back media buttons work, but the play/pause and stop buttons do not. Also, if I set other keyboard shortcuts under System→Preferences→Keyboard Shortcuts and then press them, the selected song in Songbird’s media library blinks. It doesn’t actually go forward or back or pause like I told it to with my custom key binding (not talking about the media buttons now), but it blinks like it knows it’s supposed to be doing something. Hope this helps!

why doesn’t this support x86-64?

Everything works real nice on Opensuse 10.3 running on a Dell XPS1330. Thanks!

What, No x86_64 support. :(

Could you post a link to the source code? At least we can recompile it and install it that way.

Thanks,

Works a treat on Hardy.

Thanks.

ok, is broken from 0.6rc3. hope this got solved soon.

0.6 support! Please! This extension is very very good

This is definitely one of the most useful addons for songbird. It worked really well for me on hardy with SB 0.5. Are there any plans for 0.6 support?

Great, thanks for the update man!

Works perfectly on an acer aspire 3620. Should be included by default with songbird!

I second that

Any chance of getting this Add-on to work with 64-bit Ubuntu? I'd really like to have my media keys working, but I'm running 64-bit Hardy.

I'm a bit sad that this isn't working with 0.6.1, on a Dell Vostro 1500 at least.

Oh, Ubuntu 8.04 64 bit.. I know it says only 32 bit but the 'previous' button makes the song I have highlighted blink.. So I know it's doing something, just not the right thing.

Works fine with Ubuntu 8.04

abo, are you using 32bit or 64bit Ubuntu 8.04?

dparnell,

It would be nice if the source code was modified to detect the architecture type and adapt to it. Some of us use i386 others x86_64. Other than than you could issue 2 versions one for each arch type.

Thanks,
Al

0.7 works perfectly for my acer aspire 5560 with ubuntu.

BEST extension so far, should be included in default if compatible for all computers.

GOOD JOB!

p/s I sign up just to say thank you because this plugin is simply the only last thing and most important thing i need on songbird.

Yes, 64 bit Linux support would be great. Until then, if I want to be able to use my media keys I have to use Rhythmbox.

if anyone gets a 64 bit version compiled from source, if they could post it online and provide a link on this thread it would be greatly appreciated

please please please, 64 bit support please :) songbird would be the bestest supersonic app on my hardy with that feature

I am trying to build MMKeys on AMD64 using the xulrunner-sdk version 1.9 of the Gecko engine. I am getting the following error:

MMKeysModule.cpp: In function ‘nsresult NSGetModule(nsIComponentManager*, nsIFile*, nsIModule**)’:
MMKeysModule.cpp:16: error: ‘NS_NewGenericModule2’ was not declared in this scope

Could you help or at least tell us what are you using in order to compile MMkeys?

It worked for me, together with keyTouch. My configuration is Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 on HP Pavilion dv6662se laptop. Great job!

I guess I was wrong... It worked after install, but when I turned off my machine and turned it on again, this plug-in stopped working (it gave me a message, something like "couldn't run Media Keys"). I tried to Disable/Enable it but it didn't work...

I think this add-on broke with Intrepid Ibex. It was working in Hardy and now it won't work Intrepid.
