Hello!

I just happily upgraded to version 10, happy with all the new additions like 2 key mapping, faster scrolling, instant Multimedia Key recognition, both for Bluetooth, and Multimedia keys on the keyboard (Mostly, like all my FN + Play/Pause, Next, Previous work, but the play pause button on my Steelseries Apex 3 is not, which does work in Winamp, YouTube etc, but if the Steelseries does not work I am okay with that).

I find it super handy that I can finally add two keys at the same time.

But the issue I am running into with the multiple Bluetooth headsets (Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4, Sennheiser PXC-550 II, and some cheap ass earbuds), I've tried this with when playing video is That the skipping to next or previous works fine with the Bluetooth Keys, no probs there, it's only the play/Pause function that does not work.

Only the pause/play function does not work with Bluetooth. I've tried it on 3 different headsets now. And when setting up the slideshow it does register the Play/Pause command from the Bluetooth device, when manually setting it up (I noticed the drop down menu below too, tried that as well with no results), it just does not Pause or Play. So I added a second key (space bar) + of course the FN key combination that you find on most keyboard or laptops, that just works fine in terms of playing and pausing.

I find it weird, that the key is correctly being registered in the mapping process, but it just will not work whilst running the (video) slideshow itself.

The screenshot shows what's being registered when I press the play/pause button on my Bluetooth headset, seems to be correct to me, as the space bar function does also work as supposed to.

Any suggestions on how to fix this? Is it a me problem, or could it be a minor bug?

Thank you kindly for the update! This is a great improvement, very happy with it, if this is just a minor bug, hoping it will be fixed, otherwise I would be content just using the space bar to Play or Pause, but when you in Lazy Couch Potato mode, it's nice not to have to get up and reach for the keyboard, and just be able to use the Bluetooth Headset instead. BTW I only use this function in video mode.

Thanks again for the great improvements! Keep up the great work!

Kind Regards,
Levien

Hello,
multimedia keys normally are redirected by windows to programs having audio or video streams (actively playing audio/video). gPhotoShow registers itself to receive the keys but then if windows doesn't sent those keys there is nothing to do.
From the tests I did on my system gPhotoShow reeceives play/stop when running as slideshow but it doesn't receive them when running as screen saver. Unfortunately there is nothing I can do about this issue
