Windows: media keys don't work when Emby Theater app isn't in focus

The media keys on my keyboard (play/pause, skip, etc) work when the Emby Theater app is focused but when it's minimized or I have another window in focus such as my web browser, the media keys stop controlling the app. Spotify, Media Monkey, VLC, etc all can do this but Emby Theater doesn't work. Is there anything I can do to workaround this problem?

Hi, yes, we can look at background support for this in future updates to the app. Thanks.

@Luke is there a plan when this will be implemented?

It's almost a year since this thread was opened and I really miss this feature because mostly I'm playing movies on a second screen. Having to focus the app to (un/)pause is kinda laborious.

Only workaround I found is to use emby in a browser.

HI, we have a new windows app coming soon, so stay tuned.
