When I press Play/Pause on a Logitech while SetPoint is running and VLC is focused, VLC is taking commands from both the device (locally) and from the SetPoint program (globally) - which is why I'm seeing double-responses when pressing media play/pause buttons. I just turned off SetPoint and tested and the Logitech Play/Pause button now functions like the Saitek does. In fact, I just realized the only difference is that the Logitechs are using the SetPoint program and the Saitek isn't. Some kind of support for my Saitek was added that wasn't there before. When I unprogrammed all hotkeys from my VLC and tested with the different devices, the Saitek media play/pause button, without any configuring is somehow working with the program. I am using the same computer and same program with all three devices - so why does VLC react differently to the Logitechs then it does to the Saitek? Something changed in version 1.1.0 that wasn't there before. Why does the Saitek keyboard's media play/pause work when set as the global play/pause hotkey (both when focused and unfocused)? But then the Logitech keyboard and Logitech mouse's media play/pause buttons will only work properly when unfocused on the program? If I press the media play/pause button on the Logitech mouse or keyboard when focused on VLC - it pauses and unpauses really fast, as if I was pressing the button twice. I'm looking for VLC to respond in like no matter which manufacturer of peripheral device I am using with it. I'm not looking for more configuration options for this. There really aren't any config options in VLC for that. But this works for the Logitech mouse only, the Logitech keyboard I still have to press spacebar or play/pause depending on whether I'm focused on the program or not to get it to function properly. My current workaround is to set the local hotkey as spacebar - and then custom configure Logitech through Setpoint to target the play/pause button to spacebar instead when pressed in VLC only. The Logitech play/pause buttons would now only work when not focused on the program - when focused on VLC, it would "double-press" the button. But here's what happened when I set Media Play/Pause as the global hotkey play/pause button: The Saitek keyboard worked perfectly, whether focused on the program or not, but now the Logitechs were acting funny. So after some time, I finally got global hotkeys to work by running the program in administrator mode when I applied the changes. That's when I noticed the global HotKeys. The Saitek Play/Pause button worked but the Logitechs didn't function. So I cleared out all of the hotkey settings and tested 3 devices. The Logitechs on the other hand were functioning regularly. Now it was "double-pressing" play/pause so it would either pause and unpause really fast, or upause and repause really fast. So after updating, I noticed that the dedicated play/pause button on my Saitek keyboard was acting funny. Global hotkeys were something I really wanted, but didn't think was available. When I updated versions, I didn't know about the global hotkeys yet and was only using local hotkeys up until that point - stuck with focusing on VLC whenever sending a command. I programmed one of my mouse buttons to function as play/pause and both keyboards have dedicated buttons for this. I use a Saitek Eclipse III keyboard, and I also have a wireless Logitech Mouse MX620 and wireless Logitech Wave keyboard K350.
