MM and Toshiba Remote / Front Panel Buttons

[jn]

All,

If anybody else owns a Toshiba notebook: The front panel buttons as well as the remote normally only controls windows media player.
Some time back, I discovered a tool named remoteX that supposed to change this behaviour, but never worked reliable on my machine.
I now realized that the author released a new version some time back which works as a charm.

After downloading and unzipping, create a MediaMonkey.set with the following contents:

"66","Maximize","4SPACE"
"67","AltTab","2TAB"
"76","Menu","0ESCAPE"
"77","Mode","SWITCH"
"78","Play","0SPACE"
"79","Stop","MSG 35272 0 0"
"80","Prev","1LEFT"
"81","Rwd","0LEFT"
"82","Fwd","0RIGHT"
"83","Next","1RIGHT"
"49","FP Prev","MSG 273 40044 0"
"50","FP Next","MSG 273 40048 0"
"51","FP Play","MSG 273 40046 0"
"48","FP Stop","MSG 273 40047 0"
"134","Internet","MSG 273 40045 0"
"135","Toshiba Console",""

Then start the program and select the set file by double clicking. Thats it!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

I used to have a Toshiba M30x and on that one I could change all the buttons with Toshiba's tool. But on my new P100 I can only change the "Internett" and the "CD/DVD" button.

I'll try this out right away...

If you all accept small hint from Dev
Change:

Code: Select all

"51","FP Play","MSG 273 40046 0" 

to

Code: Select all

"51","FP Play","MSG 273 39999 0" 

And you will be able to free you Internet button as in MM this acts as PLAY/PAUSE.

Some Other Bonus Hints:

Code: Select all

"81","Rwd","0LEFT"
"82","Fwd","0RIGHT"

will act like rwd/fwd +-5 seconds if set as

Code: Select all

"81","Rwd","MSG 273 40144 0"
"82","Fwd","MSG 273 40148 0"

Many, many thanks, Jörg and Pete! It works like a charm on this el cheapo Satellite M115.

So what are all those magic numbers? And is there a way to discover them for other programs (e.g., VLC Media Player, Media Player Classic)?
