    hey all,

    anyone managed to get touch pad (you know, play, eject etc buttons) to work with vlc or any other player when its minimised? it only seems to work with WMP. its a very handy feature when listening to music

    thanks

    Those are designed to work on WMP only. Sorry about the inconvenience.

    Never tried it with M15x but the touch buttons work perfectly with current VLC version on my M17x :)
